Vic Trigger (pro snow boarder) makes it look easy surfing across Lac De Lou 2100m in the french alps. As the snow melts we are able to dive the lake as long as the snow boarders are not crossing overhead.
Some lightning over the water on a recent visit to Atlantic Beach, NC. It was a nasty storm, but diving conditions were still excellent the next day.
Part of the Galapagos adventure is snorkeling with penguins. This shot was taken with an underwater camera at the surface. The birds are easier to approach when they are out of the water and looking down at you.
A unexpected breach by a humpback in Sydney Harbour.
Sunset at the Kima Bajo village, Manado. Fishermen started going out fishing.

This little guy was hanging round all the boats in one of the harbours at Vancouver Island and was too cute to resist taking a photo!
