Bering Sea Gold

I’m back in Nome AK with the Bering Sea Gold crew for our winter season. It’s always a hard run working long days in the bitter cold but I have a lot of fun shooting with this cast and crew.

Diving under 4+ feet of sea-ice poses several challenges. Prepping the dive site and cutting the hole always takes longer than you’d think and when it’s all ready you still have to thaw gear and suit up in sub-freezing temps. The clear water that the winter offers makes the struggle worth it.
