          @Giles I’ve seen guys on the Rolex forum question if they should swim with their submariners…but I see the Blancpain is up to the job 🙂

              Gull (a Japanese scuba and snorkelling brand) Emden floating fins. I use these when I am on top reefs looking for small critters, they help me keep a more horizontal aspect in the water, and thus cause less damage to the reef.....

                          Planning a scuba trip in Puerto Galera, Philippines this April. Was looking at Raja Ampat in Indonesia or Tubbataha in the Philippines but decided to do that another time. Puerto Galera is a 20h flight, plus drive, plus ferry, plus trike, but it's still much easier than those other two locations...

                            Some of my favourite dives were in the Philippines, @JDelage. Saw thresher sharks off Malapascua and this blue-ringed octopus in Dauin…. Have fun! 👍

                                Such amazing times completing my PADI Open Water course on Koh Lanta, Thailand.

                                The caves and swim-throughs were a highlight, and everything I thought was going to scare me on land was just so serene and beautiful underwater...

                                            Yeah, I have a rig with a point-and-shoot and it's already quite big. UW photo, I've decided, is really for pros or people who have a lot more time & money than me. I'm taking a GoPro rig with me to Puerto Galera.
