Putting Life in Strobeless Images - Underwater Photography with Mathieu Meur- by Tim Hochgrebe added 2011-09-01
- Not everyone can afford to complement their underwater camera with external strobes.

However, with the addition of a simple, affordable filter, things don't need to be so dull.

I'd love to become a diver, but ... SEVEN most common cop-outs- by Tim Hochgrebe added 2011-01-28

There are many common excuses on why people decide not to take the plunge; generally a lack of knowledge keeps people from trying. Let's debunk some of those myths and get more people SCUBA diving!
SCUBA Diving and Asthma- by Nerissa Penfold added 2010-11-17
- For as long as I can remember I wanted to SCUBA dive. I remember being fascinated by my dad’s cylinders of air with yellow flaking paint and belts of lead weights that lay around the house, and the promise of what lay beneath the surface of the sea. As luck would have it, by the time I seriously started thinking about diving I had been diagnosed with adult asthma.

One can do a single boat dive and be back to spend the rest of the day exploring the island with or without expert staff, read books, hang by the pool or at the end of the day join the sunset cruise. There is plenty of time to relax and no worries about having to get any chores done.
