August 2010 While not strictly underwater, low level aerial photography offers a top down point of view on seascapes and is providing me with a new set of challenges and opportunities. You may be wondering why so quiet for the past few months? The answer has a lot to do with my total immersion in this technically fascinating approach of hanging a camera in the sky using small remote controlled multi-rotor aircraft. I am looking forward to combining underwater water imaging with aerial perspectives...

6th October 2008 Shark dives at Beqa, Fiji are an
adrenaline rush but there's more to this venture than giving punters a
thrill; and hopefully more to these images than sensationalizing the
encounter. Shark populations worldwide are in serious decline. With
sharks dying at a rate much faster than they can reproduce, the loss
of apex predators threatens the health of our oceans and our very
existence in the longer term.
5th September 2008 The Komodo region of
Indonesia in addition to being home to the Komodo dragon is renowned
for its marine biodiversity. Strong currents and upwelling from the
Indian ocean supply nutrient rich waters to marine life forms. Click
