I started diving at the age of 16 but it took over 30 years and more than 5000 dives to start with u/w photography. I dove the western Italia, all around the Red Sea, the most popular Maldivian reef, the Philippines and finally Indonesia; a few trips to Bunaken and Lembeh and two liveaboards to Komodo and Raja Ampat, where Daniela, my beloved wife and a real nudi addict, managed to draw my attention from big fishes to small critters, convinced me that he should start to test his skill with a point and shoot camera. My starter kit was made of a Canon G9 with Canon housing and Inon D2000 strobe, but I have now upgraded to a Canon EOS 450D with Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 macro lens + Canon 250D close-up lens, protected by an Hugyfot housing, plus two Inon strobes. Last additions to the kit were a Tokina ATX 107 and a Canon EF 100mm macro. I dive with Daniela since 2003 and couldn’t ask for a better buddy: Daniela has a real talent for finding and classifying all the critters and nudis.
