took up diving years ago (learned to dive in Australia on the GBR) photo skills weren't as good as they are now.

Big dreams of seeing a whale shark one day though!

some pics of my adventures

Easter Island

trevelly and the endemic Easter Island butterfly


me next to a 1000+ year old porites lobata colony


Philippines



pygmy seahorse on purple gorgonian


yellow and red frogfish


manta ray - flores, indonesia


mappa puffer


hawksbill




reef scene - Sipadan, Malaysia (ranked in the top 5 dive sites of the world)


pacific barracuda - Sipadan, Malaysia


bumphead parrotfish pooping sand (coz they eat acros!)


topside shots from the dive locales

That photo of the island looks like Cook Islands. Those are great pictures, especially the Manta Rays!

My whole dive today was with a shark...didn't leave our sides. He was following along in hopes of being fed some lion fish...So awesome!

Incredible shots, I really need to get a strobe for my camera. I have to get over to Asia and do some diving.

The strobe makes such a huge difference.

So we went diving today i only used my go pro so no still shots we dived Lost treasure and Oro Verde which is a wreck. On tuesday i will have more photos has anyone eve take photos of fish on a night dive with the strobe worried it may blast them out of the water when it flashes.

Forgot to mention that we had a nurse shark on the first dive and we drove 10 minutes to a new dive site and 15 minutes in the same shark showed up.

I'm trying to get out diving at least once a year now. Extremely jealous of the whale shark haha. everywhere I go I have high hopes on seeing one and most of my dive destinations are known for whale shark spotting's. Maybe next year
