What can I say..I love sun shine the outdoors and mostly scuba diving. Diving is a passion of mine and the underwater photography just adds to it.

    Great photo of a truly magnificent animal. How lucky you are to share a swim with him! I really like this shot.

    One those pics that sends you straight to wikipedia. An inspiring combination of light and colour and a kind of incandescence that gives the image depth and lights up the Shark’s beautiful Morse Code. Beautifully captured sleek grace. Hope the code is not sending an SOS for the species. Well Hunted.

    Hard work is involved in the taking of some of these photos. What intriguing images lie just beneath the water’s surface. An entirely different world, that we ate responsible for. Hope we don’t forget that. Beautiful creature.
