Listening for the Ocean’s Deepest Divers: On May 14, 2026, from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., the ReefExplorer team invites you to an exciting look into acoustic research in the deep sea. The guest speaker is Prof. Dr. Simone Baumann-Pickering from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (UC San Diego), a leading international expert in the field of marine bioacoustics.
Where Tiny Crustaceans Are Saving Our Climate: Antarctica is far more than just an icy wilderness at the end of the world. Surrounded by the mighty Circumpolar Current, which flows around the continent like a massive ring, it forms a unique, self-contained ecosystem. In this extreme habitat, an unassuming hero plays a central role: krill.
Orca offers guests a glimpse into the fish diversity of Soma Bay. To mark its 35th anniversary, Orca is offering its guests something special: the Orca Dive Club Soma Bay and The Breakers Diving and Surfing Lodge Soma Bay now provide a free photo fish guide — featuring exclusively species from the Soma Bay house reef.
Dive in and marvel: colors, shapes, and mysterious creatures open the doors to the hidden world of the oceans. From 28 March 2026, the Port des Lumières immersive experience centre in Hamburg will open its new production, “Wonder World Ocean”. Visitors are invited to embark on a multi-sensory journey into the depths of the ocean.
There are destinations that look better in photos than in real life. Palau is the opposite. The water is cleaner than you expect. The reefs are healthier than almost anywhere else in the world. Sites like Blue Corner and German Channel deliver the kind of diving that makes you go quiet underwater, which is hard to do when you are surrounded by sharks, mantas, and more fish than you can track. Palau sits at the edge of the Coral Triangle, and it shows.
Activists from the Captain Paul Watson Foundation disrupt krill trawlers. While in Germany the stranding of whales in the Baltic Sea highlights the vulnerability of marine habitats, on the other side of the world a bitter, often overlooked dispute is raging over Antarctica’s most important food source: krill.
Recreational Sector Now Also Subject to Emissions Taxes. The federal government has done it: of all things, the air in a cylinder is now to be taxed. Four weeks ago, Germany adopted a new “CO₂ pricing scheme for compressed breathing gases,” which explicitly applies to dive centers and filling stations as well.
ReefExplorer Online Lecture Series 2026: On April 9, 2026, from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., the ReefExplorer Online Lecture Series invites you to an exciting lecture by marine biologist Sarah Abdelhamid (MSc. Integrative Zoology) on “Sea Turtles in the Red Sea – Biology, Threats, and Their Importance for Citizen Science.”
Underwater Citizen Science: Since fall 2024, Prof. Dr. Ralph Schill’s team- and especially thanks to your help—has been monitoring the Egyptian coast of the Red Sea. More and more Diadem sea urchins are now being observed, and we hope they will re-establish themselves along the entire coastline.
