Ocean Devotion: Nuno Sá: ‘We need the sea’ Nuno Sá is one of the world's leading underwater photographers, with around twenty awards from the world's biggest nature photography competitions.
When I try to sum up the past year, I see how our reporting has spread in many different directions. From climate to overfishing, from ‘beautiful pictures’ to intelligent fish and dead seals on Swedish beaches. One might think that we should have focused more, or one might choose to see that we have succeeded in covering a range of issues that all concern the sea. Our most important hub – the foundation of all life.
World-renowned underwater photographers Göran Ehlmé and Nuno Sá are diving off the island of St. Maria in the Azores when they suddenly spot something completely unexpected. They have both dived in almost every ocean in the world, among whales, sharks, manta rays, walruses and orcas, but have never seen anything like this. What is floating in the water? Something large, orange and tube-shaped. My Ehlmé Tange is part of the expedition and takes the opportunity to take some incredibly beautiful pictures of the creature, or creatures, because there are many of them.
