Throughout the article, the author shares with readers his dive experiences and offers along the way, expert recommendations suited for all types of divers.

“ For divers looking for the wild and wooly, Nuku Hiva should be circled and starred on your map.”

“ For the ultimate do-before-you die encounter, head south to Rurutu in the Australs for what many consider the ultimate place on the planet for in-water encounters for humpback whales and calves.”

Islands Magazine- January /February 2009- “Elements of Home”

The January-February edition of Islands Magazine finally hits the stands. The 13-page article, offering stunning shots of the islands, is about the author’s journey within the islands, with a view of understanding what makes one feel at home.

Edward R. Henderson, who has been living in Tahiti for more than a year, has come to realize that he in fact has never felt home anywhere, as a result of his moving from place to place so often in his life.

Throughout the article, the author uses ancient Polynesian navigators as a reference to determine the true elements that define home.

“The ancients had no time; Not that they were not busy- no cell phones, no soccer practices to take the kids to- Rather they lived outside time, a concept they simply didn’t need, and so there was time for everything-the sky, the sea, finding the world. Navigators never looked away.”

According to the author, noticing the surroundings including the scents and the colors of the landscape makes you understand exactly where you are. In essence, becoming aware of your surrounding gives you a point of reference, which helps you realize what you really miss when you look away- home.
