Ulua Nudibranch Afternoon

After a morning dive in which I took no pictures as I let my dive buddy, Lynette, use an essential piece of my camera housing as she had forgot hers. So to make up for it, I did a 2nd dive solo and broke my single tank time record: 1 hour & 43 minutes on […]

85’s & Wailea Point

Out with Island Style Diving of their “Advanced” diving day, but it wasn’t really “advanced.” Fun anyway and the crew is always great.

Mala Ramp & Olowalu

I joined my friend Jenna and her twin 11 year old daughters and her father on Maui Pacific Divers and took photos for them. I am only going to post the marine life pictures here as I will leave it to Jenna to decide which portraits they want to make public. Anyway, it was a […]

Palau: Arrival and Dive Day 1

Another trip that had been on my bucket list for a long time is now complete. It was absolutely amazing. I did 36 dives over 10 days with Fish & Fins Palau and the Palau Aggressor II. Both operations were fantastic in their respective ways. Aggressor offered its usual full service expedition, and the staff […]

360 Maui Reef Scenes

I just uploaded a 10 minute 360 video to YouTube called “360 Maui Reef Scenes.” Basically a collection of 360 footage I took over 5 dives with the new Insta360 X4 8K 360 camera. Best viewed with a VR headset while seated in a swivel chair. Otherwise you can scroll around the 360 view with […]

Ulua on a Clear Day

Another day of incredible visibility off the shore. Makes wide angle photography so much easier. I include the Lined Butterflyfish shot not because it is a good shot (it isn’t) but because it is the first time I have seen one in Hawaii. There only other time was in Fiji ~ 23 years ago. They […]

Mala Ramp

Went to Mala Ramp in Lahaina Town today. It was an epic day with perfect visibility and more turtles than I have ever seen on one dive. I was joined by my Friend Kim, so lots of portraits. Also throwing in a couple from yesterday’s dive:
