In Memory of Mathias Espinosa

When Mathias Espinosa dived into the ocean, the world fell silent. “Diving is a kind of yoga underwater, where the only thing you hear is your own breathing,” he used to say. That philosophy marked more than three decades of explorations, encounters, and teachings that made him one of the pioneers of sustainable diving tourism and a fervent defender of the biodiversity of the Galápagos Islands.
