KUREDU RESORT 

MY FIRST U\W PHOTOGRAPHIC ADVENTURE
I had been diving for about 7 years and had been involved in underwater videography,
a hobby that I enjoyed but never quite seemed to take any further than the actual
shooting of the footage. The editing part of video never quite grabbed my full attention
and as I progressed I realised that a good video is created in the editing studio.
I turned my attention to photography after a trip to Sipadan Island with Borneo Divers
and have not looked back.
My first attempt at underwater photography was at Kuredu Island in the Maldives.
I used a  Subal camera housing purchased from  Ocean Optics  [UK]
I received the housing in South Africa on the morning of my scheduled flight to Male
and I read the Subal instruction manual and Martin Edge's new underwater photography
book in the plane!

Below is a selection of slides from my first u\w photography experience
All photos were taken with a Nikon F90X in a Subal housing.
Lenses: Nikon 105mm micro 2.8  and  Nikon 20mm 2.8 [+4 dioptre]
Strobe: Sea&Sea YS120 duo.
For further details see my photographic equipment page.
