Eagle Creek No Matter What™ Rolling Duffel XL Review for Scuba Travel!

Since I am traveling a lot with heavy gear (really heavy gear) I wanted to write this review about these amazing bags from Eagle Creek…

I have owned these bags for approximately 2-3 years after owning many major brand scuba diving travel bags. I don’t want to name brands but I have been using 3-4 different major name brands and have been disappointed with their quality as most of them had breaking parts and the quality was just too bad for the price tag they had.

It’s not just about the quality, in today’s world air travel luggage restrictions have become really strict and carrying scuba gear more expensive…I am traveling always with approximately 80KG Read More

Underwater Photography Andaman Sea – Similan Islands :)

I had a Liveboard trip to the Similan Islands in the beginning of the year and must say that I was really impressed with the beauty and abundance of life on the reefs around the Islands. The Olympus OM-D EM-1 inside a Nauticam Housing really performed very well and I enjoyed every dive with it. Below you can see some of my images I made while I was there and hope you will enjoy them…

Cave Diving Mexico | Underwater Photography OM-D EM-1

I decided to take scuba diving and underwater photography to a new level because of the never ending need for more adrenaline and the quest to show the beauty of our world 🙂

Cave diving is a great sport and really allows you to explore places where no one else has been before and being a photographer gives me also the opportunity to try to show the world the beauty of these places. Caving is regarded as the most extreme form of diving with the highest fatality rate within scuba diving, but with the proper training and right attitude/approach/preparation the risk is greatly reduced…I really enjoyed the training which is the longest and hardest I had in my scuba diving lessons history but it was definitely worth it and taught me a lot of knowledge which I can apply to everyday diving. Cave diving with the Olympus OM-D EM-1 in a Nauticam Housing with the addition of 1 INON Z240 Strobes is a really nice experience due to the ‘smaller’ size then regular SLR rigs…I had to push the OM-D EM-1 sometimes to high ISO 6400, still images where usable and the noise created by this high ISO I could clean out while post processing.

Being a fully cave certified diver with the proper training opens a whole new world to me and I am looking forward to dive very interesting caves in the future and through photography I will be sharing the beauty these places do offer…
