Jim Catlin <\/strong>
\nI first became interested in marine photography over 10 years ago when working as a volunteer on a marine expedition to Fiji.<\/div>\n

After completing an MSc in marine science in 2008 studying the endangered Bumphead Parrotfish, I worked in the Caribbean and Egypt for various marine conservation NGo\u2019s. My underwater photographs from Tobago were used by Coral Cay Conservation to help promote marine awareness throughout the Caribbean and images from the TCI appeared in Caribbean Reef Magazine. My photos have also appeared in the Thailand Pocket Dive Guide 2013 and the journal Methods in Ecology and Evolution, cover shot April 2013. I currently work as an underwater photography instructor at Cathy Church’s Photo Centre in the Cayman Islands.<\/p>\n

Underwater photography experience<\/p>\n
