Darwin Island covered in birds, the rock of the boat, the Frigate birds swarming overhead, the dolphins swimming by...

I grew up in a small town. I went to Uni. I started taking pictures afterwards in 2000. Several cross country road trips and 3 summers in the Sierra Nevada forced me to fall in love with the outdoors. In 2004 I began working full time, taking advantage of every free weekend and holiday while liquidating my yearly vacation for bigger trips to other countries. I especially love conifer forests and alpine mountains. I'm currently taking pictures of Kids and Models, check out my Facebook page for details! [url=ht... full info

I went in for a quick peak but couldn't stop... they all bring back such fantastic memories! I never noticed the reticulation on the face of the female hogfish-- she'll be a male soon with that yellow cheek stripe. Where's the sea lion balls?

Welcome to the nirwana of divers!
Darwin's Arch, it will always remain very special for me, I was there back in Feb 2008. No whalesharks, but hey, saw them again few days ago in Djibouti. Now you've got to put Tubbataha and Palau on your list, these are my three prefered. Still have to do Cocos, PNG, Rangiora/Fakarava...but coming soon. For now, next stop is Havelock, not the best diving in the world, but one of the nicest beach...and many cuddles. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Where is your next diving?
