This article relies on an ethnography of commercial divers that involves the author’s training, certification, and activity underwater to propose an ecofeminist analysis of the undersea (furthermore with the undersea). It presents how feminist environmental theory engages with the ethnographic method of immersion and how underwater fieldwork grounded in feminist theory contributes, in turn, to reflections on the role of embodiment in the production of ethnographic knowledge. This article emphasizes the role of experiencing risky situations (gender-based violence and life-threatening situations) in the research process to address the reproduction of masculinity that is part of the commercial diving training supported by the profession’s equipment and technologies. By doing so, the article unveils how participating in underwater activities as part of fieldwork raises issues for feminist ethics, especially regarding multispecies relationality. Overcoming these ethical limits and reconciling ecofeminism and ethnography in the study of underwater ecologies can, as the article concludes, rely on creative methods.

能有一部关于海底的女权主义民族志吗？

本文依赖于商业潜水员的人种学，其中涉及作者的培训、认证和水下活动，提出对海底（进一步包括海底）的生态女性主义分析。它介绍了女权主义环境理论如何与沉浸式民族志方法相结合，以及基于女权主义理论的水下田野工作如何反过来有助于反思体现在民族志知识生产中的作用。本文强调了在研究过程中经历危险情况（基于性别的暴力和危及生命的情况）的作用，以解决男性气质的再现问题，这是由专业设备和技术支持的商业潜水培训的一部分。通过这样做，本文揭示了作为实地考察的一部分参与水下活动如何引发女权主义伦理问题，特别是在多物种关系方面。正如文章的结论，在水下生态研究中克服这些伦理限制并协调生态女性主义和民族志可以依靠创造性的方法。
