:: Gallery - Underwater


Scuba diving has grown to be part of my life. How fascinating it is to be able to remember those moments when you're blowing bubbles underwater, admiring the magnificent reefs and looking at fish go by. For me, time comes to a standstill and I'm in a completely different world... Engulfed in peace and fluidity.

Ambon - Maluku, Indonesia
Sep 2008


Having dived and worked in Sipadan (Feb), Bali (May) and now Ambon, my new job is to co-manage a dive centre and resort for the 9-month season. Although we live in a small village and getting to town is a 45-minute ride in a dusty van, I must say I've been flabbergasted by the muck-diving here! Armed with my new Ikelite housing (Thanks Song!) and mean little G9, I once again explore the realms of the underwater world...

Komodo & Flores - Indonesia
19 - 28 Dec 2007


Yellow Wall, Cannibal Rock, Makasar Reef, Castle Rock, Batu Bolong... These are some of the most spectacular sites in Komodo and Flores... It was nudibranch and pelagic galore! Especially the pelagics... It was like all the fish in the world were there! This trip wouldn't have been possible without Condo, one of the most experienced captains in Labuan Bajo. KUDOS!

Liveaboard: MY Aurora


Oh wow... I had waited awhile to get this chance; the precious opportunity to visit the muck dive sanctuary in Indonesia. This was where I spotted many a first. Most importantly, this gallery is dedicated to my wonderful dive buddies on this trip. Thank you for being such a jolly bunch of people to dive with. Could not ask for more.

Critters and sassy human beings galore.

The Banda Sea, Maluku - Indonesia

Liveaboard: Archipelago Adventurer II


My first attempt at Underwater Photography came on a trip aboard the luxurious Archipelago Adventurer II, sailing the Banda Sea in Indonesia. Visibility went up to nearly 40-metres... These are some of the most pristine waters I've ever been in. I'm gonna fall head over heels in love with underwater photography, I tell ya.

Absolutely beautiful diving...
