''...you should spot this response ;) ''
I never payed much attention to my news feed until very recently. It was actully this new feature(which I accidentally noticed) that made me interested in it. Now, I look at the news feed everyday, to see who responded to my comments. I hope, I haven't missed too many from before I started checking them. :)

No - just a good point and shoot :) - this one was taken with Canon G9 standard housing, I'm using a Canon S90 now... hope to upgrade to an micro 4/3rds camera soon.

This photo is gorgeous! I just got my Bachelor's degree in Marine Biology, and have only just begun to dive- though I'd love to make it my job. Your picture was lovely to see on the home page of travelblog! I only just briefly glanced at your blog- your life looks amazing. Any tips on how I can live similarly?!?! Ha ha no but seriously... Anyways, love the photo, along with all your others Cheers Kristin

Thanks Kristin!
I still remember taking that shot - the anemone was just glowing, refracting the light, and the little clownfish was hiding shyly away. As for tips - just make it happen! - something you are passionate about and as adventurous as possible, you won't regret it :)

memories
Thanxx Ali ! tons of memories from our trip came alive...we did 12 days of Cambodia, visiting aroung 40+ ruins....amazzing and awesome experience! As the stone talks to u ...more stories of the epic era come alive...not sure if u had a guide to help you. Each of the Bas-Reliefs on the walls of Bayon and Angkor is a historic-story by itself. We (as indian) could relate to all Hindu Mythological Stories of Kings/Gods and had even greater fun ! checkout my blog ! (by the name Anu - Aadivasi) :) bye

I'm here
That's just a big, interesting coincidence! I look on google.com for "stress test" and I find, exactly what I am experiencing at this very same moment, as a DMT at Perhentian Islands, Malaysia! We just did our stress test today. It was great fun, just nice, the instructor thrown some complicated problems while me and buddy struggled with the equipment. Haha. Anyway we will be finishing out training real soon... By the way, nice to meet you, really nice to find somebody who has been here, axactly doing what I'm doing at this moment. I'm working at Perhentian Besar though, at Alu-Alu Divers. Regards. Cheers!

Ahhh ... Aren't they the cutest 'wicked' little things ?
They have such a wicked feeding habit. They try to keep their food alive (starfish) by munching on it bit by bit ... Nice shot by the way.

Octopus
When Ali was a very small boy, aged about 4, we lived in the middle of England, about 100 miles from the sea. One morning Ali said to his Dad, "Daddy, if you happen to see an octopus on the way to work......" We fell about laughing before he could finish. Obviously we missed something! Fantastic photos as always, we're so glad you see more than just octopus (octopii?)

We really enjoyed your blog.
You are an excellent underwater photographer. Not easy. We used to do underwater video a lot but this is much harder. Excellent!

Your talents are endless!
Oh Ali, these pictures are incredible. How you don't hold your breath and explode while taking them I will never understand. Stunning. Well done. X
