Sometimes heading to the beach isn't all about suntanning seductively on hot white sands or bouncing about in waist-high waves; sometimes, as the [Harper's Bazaar Brazil](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculpting-paste) 'Mergulho Vivo' editorial shows, there are more exciting excursions to be had. In this case, that involves scuba diving. Of course, model Lais Ribeiro embraces a much more sexy take on this underwater activity.

The Harper's Bazaar Brazil 'Mergulho Vivo' editorial was shot by photographer Bob Wolfenson. Appearing in the January 2013 issue of the magazine, the photoshoot was styled by Patricia Carta. She paired [bright neon bikinis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-swim-collection) with [diving equipment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-and-speedo) for adventurous sporty looks. Beauty Henrique Martins finished the looks with equally vibrant lipstick and a short wet-haired coif.
