The underwater world, according to an underwater photographer (via MultiSportPH )
of that has been explored by mankind. Depending on who you ask, these percentages will at some instance bring out responses filled with curiosity.
Wowie Wong’s initial foray into the field had been defined, partly, by the limits of words—they failed him whenever people asked for descriptions of the underwater world. It didn’t take long until Wong, purely an avid scuba diver at the time, found the perfect alternative to words: photography, an art form that needed none
“We go as far as inform people about the state of the underwater world. We’ve shot for National Geographic. Right now, what we’re trying to do is make it known within the film industry that we do underwater photography and cinematography. Production companies don’t really know that there are people like us,” Wong says.“When we go diving in provincial areas, it’s sad because we see people engage in dynamite fishing.
The realities of dynamite fishing and other destructive practices are not unknown to most. Reading about these facts can go as far as informing us about certain horrors, confirming our suspicions about the extent of mankind’s potential for exploitation—but they only tell half the story. The other half we can know through exposure and consequent action.“You go diving three times in one spot, every time you go down, it’s different.
Wong recalls one such untold portion of underwater tragedy: “When you talk to the communities in these provinces, they just say ‘bato lang naman yan eh,’ but we’ve seen for ourselves that that’s where the fish keep their eggs, that’s where they live! These people say that they’re just catching fish.
