Thankfully 2020 is almost over

Well 2020 has been a tough year in so many ways. Lock downs, quarantines and more. But the forced pause has made me remember that I am thankful for so many people and relationships in my life. So hopefully in 2021 we will get to travel, get to see friends and family, and get to go diving in all of the places we missed in 2020.

I’ve been told by people who have been back in the water that some of the sea creatures that we have not seen for a while have made a comeback because of the lack of presence by people. Well I hope that is right because then there is hope that the sea can make a recovery over time.

So my hope is that when we get to go back to diving in the deep blue sea that we all see and appreciate the wonderful sea life that is there.

Happy Thanksgiving!

The diversity of animal life and the beautiful soft corals in Fiji are more than enough to drag me back to Fiji. But this time I am going back to try to capture images and footage of humpback whales. Will we be successful in getting close enough to the whales to get anything interesting, I don’t know, but I’m betting we get some pretty long swims. For this trip I have added a 9 inch optical glass dome in order to try to capture a few split shots (half above the water and half below the water). Pushing that much glass through the water will probably be quite a work out. Hopefully we will come back with something interesting to see. Stay tuned….
