I started diving in Lanzarote, one of the Canary Islands and trying to explain the beauty of it led me to want to take photos underwater. Initially I used those cheap disposable cameras you find in airports but, without a flash or a decent lens, the colours were all wrong and the quality poor.

Some time later I switched to an Olympus C5050z in an Olympus housing. This truned out to be a wonderful investment that, coupled with a housing upgrade (to an Ikelite housing) and an external strobe, lasted nearly five years. My improved abilities and it's resolution and shutter lag limitations proved too frustrating.

My latest camera brings me right up to date and is way more capable that it's user. It's a canon 5D in a Subal housing with twin Inon Z240 strobes. Room to grow I hope......

The only fly in the ointment is a new born son, who I love to bits. I'll see soon what it's like taking a 9 month old son on a diving holiday :0)
