Martin Broen is an inventor, industrial designer, diver and photographer. He joins us to discuss his amazing photography in his new book Light In The Underworld available from Rizzoli. Who knew there were underwater rivers and cave collections spanning over 200km?! Martin talks about the process of exploration, the gear and we try to understand how you can get up the nerve to swim more than an hour into an underwater cave…
