Big Animals, Big Emotions: When award-winning wildlife photographers Amos Nachoum and Marko Dimitrijevic join forces, the results are spectacular. In BIG, they take us on a remarkable and moving journey around the world of big animals– and into ourselves.
The tenth event will be held in Gdynia on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 November 2022.
The organisers have advised that delegates should book their ticket early because seating is limited.

When you give to DAN, you support the DAN Emergency Hotline, ensuring it stays available 24/7 to assist divers everywhere. Since it went live in 1981, the hotline has helped tens of thousands of divers in times of need.
With many people returning to the water this summer after prolonged periods away, continued operation of this essential emergency service is more important now than ever before.
In general, the cephalopod’s sense of where its body is in space is quite poor, so this complex instinctive behavior may act to protect the arms from undetected predators nearby, which may mistake the tips of the octopus’s arms as fish or worms.
That octopus arms react to light has long been known. Its skin is covered in chromatophores, pigment-filled organs that change color when light falls upon them. They are behind the octopus’s color-changing camouflage ability.

The father is no other than our good friend and colleague, Marco Daturi, who runs the Italian dive portal ScubaPortal.it and Scubazone magazine and as such a long-time dive industry professional who knows a thing or two about diving and technology. Unsurprisingly, his young son, Lupo, is following in his footsteps.
They then followed the breeding of spiny chromis and discovered that 65 percent of nests on quieter reefs still had offspring at the season’s end, compared to 40 percent on reefs with a lot of motorboat traffic. On quieter reefs, offspring were larger, and each nest had more offspring by the end of the season.
Some juvenile fish on coral reefs exposed to motorboat noise have stunted growth and may be half as likely to survive as fish on quieter reefs, owing to the noise pollution altering their parents' caregiving behavior, said the researchers.
Built tough to last, the front-adjustable Rebel BCD is specially designed for smaller divers.
As whale sharks assemble in coastal regions to spend substantial time in surface waters, experts theorised collisions with ships could be causing substantial whale shark deaths. Previously, there was no way of monitoring this threat.
Scientists from 50 international research institutions and universities tracked both whale shark and ship movements across the globe to pinpoint areas of risk and potential collisions. Satellite-tracked data from nearly 350 whale sharks was submitted to the Global Shark Movement Project, conducted by MBA researchers.
