What do you love about diving & underwater photography?
Ever since I was a kid, I have always been passionate about the ocean and its inhabitants, but I didn’t try scuba diving until I was 22 while studying in Tenerife (Canary Islands) and instantly fell in love with it. About a year after I did my Divemaster course in Utila, Honduras, about a year after did my Instructor Course in Koh Tao, Thailand and I have been working in the diving industry since then, travelling and diving in many different places, meeting loads of people and being able to take pictures.
I started underwater photography almost at the same time as diving: I started with a little GoPro Hero, recording pictures and videos for my non-diving friends and relatives, to share the beauty of the underwater world for those who can not see it by themselves. Later on I upgraded for an Olympus Tg5 and moved to Koh Phi Phi, Thailand, and there I truly started to practise underwater photography, falling in love with all these crazy nudibranch you can find over there. After that, I started working in South Ari Atoll, Maldives where I used to take pictures of the Mantas passing in the area, collaborating with Manta Trust to record and identify the different individuals to study them. I love the underwater world, and by sharing my pictures I hope to create awareness about this beautiful yet fragile ecosystem.
What equipment do you use?
I use a Sony a6500 with a 16-50mm lens in a Fantasea a6500 housing. I use wet lenses: for the wide angle pictures, I use a Fantasea line UWL-400Q and for macro shots mainly the Fantasea UCL-06LF +12. As per strobes, I use a Sea&Sea YS-D2 and a Sea&Sea YS-03 Solis.
