Adventures in the wild do not end at the water’s edge. This archive broadens the scope, documenting the animal kingdom both above and below the surface. While the logbook is heavily saturated with marine life, the journey to remote dive destinations often provides opportunities to witness terrestrial giants during the surface interval. Here, you will find a collection of species profiles and behavioral observations that span from the silent drift of a shark to the heavy tread of an elephant, united by a shared respect for the natural world.

First Day of Diving Tiger Shark Zoo

GREEN WordPrompt Challenge
Here’s my contribution to this month’s WordPress single-word monthly challenge. This month, the single-world is Green. Turtles are great to photograph or capture on video.

More Sharks
If you haven’t noticed, I love diving with sharks. Sharks are one of the most misunderstood creatures in the ocean which humans senselessly kill at an unsustainable rate.
