Join Red Sea Explorers exclusive 100m Wrecks of the Red Sea expedition this February

Published

on

Diving a 100-meter wreck is one thing, but when the decompression takes place on the spectacular reefs and walls of the Red Sea, the experience is beyond compare.

The dive starts with a decent into clear blue water with almost unlimited visibility. On CCR you have plenty of time to explore, document and enjoy the wreck. And when you begin your ascent, you are not hanging in the blue but you are drifting along reefs and walls covered with soft and hard coral and surrounded by fish from the smallest Anthias to sharks or dolphins, and if you are lucky, even mantas all the way up to the surface.

Join the Red Sea Explorers team for seven days of deep diving on some of the most demanding and rewarding wreck dives the Red Sea has to offer. The expedition is ideal for expert CCR divers, but can also be joined by less experienced CCR and open circuit divers who wants to gain experience as project or support divers.

With Red Sea Explorers’ world-renowned and exclusive support for rebreather and open circuit diving technical diving, you can push your diving to the next level with all types of gear from rebreather tanks, scooters, stages and doubles. Not to mention an a la carte menu of gases. The RSE team of experienced dive guides and boat crew will make it possible to visit some of the most elusive deep wrecks in the Red Sea.

Paul Watson Released as Denmark Blocks Japan’s Extradition Bid

Published

Renowned anti-whaling activist Paul Watson has been released from custody in Greenland after spending five months in detention. Denmark’s Justice Ministry rejected Japan’s request for his extradition, citing insufficient guarantees that his time already served in custody would be credited against any potential sentence.

The 74-year-old Canadian-American was arrested on July 21 in Nuuk, Greenland’s capital, when his ship docked to refuel. His arrest was based on a 2012 Japanese warrant related to a 2010 encounter in Antarctic waters. Japan alleged Watson obstructed operations and caused damage to a whaling research ship during efforts to disrupt illegal whaling. Watson has consistently denied these claims, maintaining his commitment to marine conservation.

Denmark, which oversees extradition matters for Greenland, concluded that while the legal conditions for extradition were met, the lack of assurances from Japan regarding time-served credit made extradition untenable.

In a video shared by his foundation, Watson expressed gratitude and relief, saying, “After five months, it’s good to be out… and good to know they’re not sending me to Japan.” He added that the most difficult part of his time in custody was being separated from his two young sons.

Watson is a pioneering figure in marine conservation, known for founding the Captain Paul Watson Foundation in 2022 after decades of activism with the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. His bold efforts to defend marine life have earned him widespread support, including from celebrities and conservationists. His work has also been featured in the acclaimed reality TV series Whale Wars.

Watson’s lawyer, Jonas Christoffersen, praised the decision, stating, “We are happy and relieved that Paul Watson is now free.” He added that Watson is eager to reunite with his family and continue his vital work.

The arrest occurred while Watson’s vessel, the M/Y John Paul DeJoria, was en route to the North Pacific with a team of 26 volunteers to intercept a Japanese whaling ship. His foundation described the arrest as politically motivated and emphasized that Watson’s actions were focused on ending illegal whaling practices.

Japan resumed commercial whaling in 2019 after leaving the International Whaling Commission, asserting that whale meat is a cultural tradition. Conservationists, however, continue to challenge these practices, highlighting their impact on marine ecosystems.

Despite the challenges, Watson remains steadfast in his mission to protect marine life and bring attention to whaling practices. His dedication to ocean conservation has made him a globally respected advocate for the environment.
