I launched my boat to scout out some bergs that had drifted close to the shore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I came across a small Zodiac with three people on board. They were taking pictures and one guy was a diver and attempting to get underwater footage of icebergs grounding on the ocean floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I approached the boat and chatted briefly. The diver asked if I could take his two passengers aboard so they could take some footage of him around the icebergs. I obliged and when the photographers transferred back to their boat, he offered to take a photo of me in my boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We exchanged email addresses and the photo I sent you was the one he took of me. The interesting part is that the diver \/ photographer was <a href=\"https:\/\/en.subimageryprod.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Didier Noirot<\/a>. A true pioneer in underwater videography. Check out his bio.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you very much, Randy for this great story behind this photo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From our member: Randy Penney with his Zodiac 650 Rec ProR &#8220;This picture has an interesting story behind it.
