Marc Van den Broeck | I live in Merchtem of Belgium and work for more than 40 years as an independent physiotherapist. During a holiday in 1978 at the Red Sea I came into contact with diving. This experience has never gone out of my head and in 1992 I begun the training for diving.
In 2005 started also with underwater photography. First with a small compact camera. With the years I have developed this into a high quality digital camera with a special underwater housing and provided with the necessary lights and strobes for illumination and different lenses. (Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II - V6K Supe lights - strobes inon D2000).
For the finishing touch I use the software program "light room".
This hobby has already brought me to all corners of the world but my faforite place until now: Galapagos, Asia | | Belgium | |

Jim Catlin | I first became interested in marine photography over 10 years ago when working as a volunteer on a marine expedition to Fiji.
After completing an MSc in marine science in 2008 studying the Bumphead Parrotfish, I worked in the Caribbean and Egypt for various marine conservation NGo’s. My underwater photographs from Tobago were used by Coral Cay Conservation to help promote marine awareness throughout the Caribbean and images from the TCI appeared in Caribbean Reef Magazine. My photos have also appeared in the Thailand Pocket Dive Guide 2013 and the journal Methods in Ecology and Evolution, cover shot April 2013. I currently work as an underwater photography instructor at Cathy Church's Photo Centre in the Cayman Islands.
