These vortexes are a natural underwater phenomenon that only happen under very powerful barrel waves. Incredible photos.

Teahupo’o has been the perfect wave to observe this mechanism. I’ve tried to capture every part of it, the power, the speed, the shape, the textures, the light reflecting on it … it’s a endless ! It’s very hypnotic to be underwater and stare and this phenomenon and capturing the right photos has been a great challenge ! Part of my book Turbulences."14K likes, 222 comments - benthouard on March 17, 2025: "Up close and personal with the vortex phenomenon ! This happen underneath powerful and barreling waves only.

Sea foam - You wouldn’t go swimming in sewage

"Research shows people should not go in the sea when it is foaming. These bacterial smoothies can contain more harmful pathogens than a sewage treatment plant – and you wouldn’t go swimming in sewage."

"If the water is polluted with floating fats and grease as well as asphaltene, motor oil and hydrocarbons, these spores soon form bacterial colonies or biofilms that go forth and multiply."

"Reducing stormwater pollution will reduce the growth of sea foams. As long as humanity continues to produce pollution, the problem will increase. It will also worsen as the world warms, because sea foams like it hot."
