We leave our bubbles behind when we exit from our dives and all we should be bringing back are just our memories. However, we can still make those memories last for as long as we want to. These are just some of David's "memories" that he has collected and stored away over the years.

As a keen photographer that has achieved just a little bit (modesty?) of publicity with his photographs (see "About Shop"), David does not consider himself a professional underwater photographer as there is still much to learn and put into practice.
"Taking pictures is one thing but trying to figure out what you have taken is another. Dedicately putting the slides together and labelling them is a tedious chore but I find it a great way of learning about the subjects I have shot." - David
As for those that are thinking of taking up u/w photography, we have a dedicated instructor in David to start you off on the right track and to advise you whenever needed. With lots of patience, you will find yourself capturing and storing those memories forever. Look into our "U/W Photography Specialty" and get yourself started.
Learning never ends no matter how much you may have achieved.
