Watching the life under the waves is very rewarding and fascinating at the same time. Taking the time to look closely, gives always satisfaction and is sometimes very surprising !
Great challenge is to take photos of the enormous diversity of the marinelife and to capture the unexpected through the lens of a digital camera.

Patrick:
Born in Ghent,Belgium ,27 march 1959 .
Started diving in January 1984 in a CMAS diving school. Through a friend I got interested in the marine life, more specific the tropical seas.
Made my first dive in Zeeland , The Netherlands, in the underwater marine-reserve -“Oosterschelde”.
Continuously upgraded my certifications to the level of 4* diver. Made a crossover in the nineties to the Padi organisation , and got my instructor certification.
Started working as a dive guide-instructor in Egypt ( Hurghada & Sharm el Sheikh), and guided on safaris to the North-and South Red Sea.
Got certified as IANTD advanced.
Since a few years I got more interested for the smaller creatures in our oceans . This made me decide to start taking photos to capture the great diversity and wonders of the underwater world.
