From wet lens to dry wall
I am a PADI diving instructor with a passion for underwater photography. Teaching SCUBA diving over the years has blessed me with many amazing marine wildlife encounters. It's also been a real joy and privilege to capture some of these elusive moments on camera. I've always meant to do more with the images I've collected and thanks to the pandemic I now have the time. It turns out that Etsy is a great way to share these unforgettable experiences with you and I do really hope that you'll enjoy them as much as I have.
More than just a pretty picture, these prints are also a testament to one of the most fragile environments on earth. In the span of a decade I have seen dramatic changes to the health of the coral reef, particularly in the Maldives where most of my diving has taken place. My main motivation for setting up this store is to find a way to generate proceeds to go towards conservation efforts. Why you might ask? Too often have I seen a manta ray or sea turtle, mercilessly ensnared in fishing tackle. Too often have I watched a vibrant and healthy reef ecosystem be reduced to bare rubble. In some way we are all responsible to do something about it. This is my way.
