Not underwater related, but really sad such a brave photojournalist was killed in Syria with French photojournalist Remi.
Reading through the article it struck me a comment she made about putting her life in danger:
"So, was I stupid? Stupid I would feel writing a column about the dinner party I went to last night,"
Some of us divers, though not putting ourselves at risk nearly as much, could answer a similar thing when people ask us about jumping in the water with big animals etc.
