After a mid-year start to our new concept, the world's first perpetual underwater shootout competition which started halfway through 2014 as an evolution of the popular Underwater Festival established 8 years ago, the Underwater Project is announcing a partnership with the largest global online and pdf dive magazine, X-Ray Mag.

And with the global scope of X-Ray Mag in mind, we decided to expand the horizons of the Underwater Project to a global one. From the 1st of January 2015 you can shoot globally to become part of the growing Underwater Project.

New research by Lindsey Dougherty of the University of California, Berkeley, suggests that scaring off predators or luring prey may be the primary motivations for the disco clam’s flashy behavior.

Dougherty first became fascinated with disco clams when she was shocked by their display during a dive in Indonesia. “It was on that trip I first saw the disco clam, and immediately fell in love,” reminisced Dougherty.
