About author i got certified in 2000 and am a “compressed air junkie” ever since. now dive destinations control my holiday planning: dives in the phillipines (mindoro), greece (kreta), mexico (cozumel), indonesia (bali and sulawesi), thailand (andaman sea), egypt, usa (maui), caribbean (bonaire, curacao, saba) and mauritius yield about 2000+ dives in my logbook.
photography has always been a passion of mine – so a little sony cybershot quickly became my companion under water. realizing the limitations of this camera i switched to a fuji s2 pro in a seacam housing in 2005. inon z220 and z240 strobes illuminate my subjects, which i capture using 10,5 mm fisheye, 12-24mm wide angle and 60mm, 90mm & 105mm macro lenses.
but the development of technology never stops. so i decided to switch to a nikon d300 in march 2011 and in july 2016 in a nikon d810. due to my good experience with my previous housing as well as the compatibility of my existing accessories i chose seacam again.
with this equipment i try to show the fascinating world of life, colours and patterns of the underwater environment to all people that have seen the water only from above.
