Your Bio
Hafa adai and welcome to my Smugmug site! I just uploaded photos from recent trips to Palau and to Anilao, in the Batangas province of the Philippines. The trip to Palau in early June was a pleasure as always. After spending several days in training with a fantastic group of individuals from around the Western and South Pacific I spent nearly a week diving (and a little kayaking) at some of Palau's most incredible dive sites. This trip gave me some of my best Palau dives ever, with one or two dives reaching near the top of my best dives anywhere. While I was without a strobe for most of the dives, I managed to get at least a few keepers on that trip. Check out the "Palau 2011 Favorites" gallery below for some of the better photos from that trip.
The trip to Anilao happened just before I left for Palau, moving swiftly from a world-class macro life dive area to a world-class megafauna mecca. This area is well-known for its incredible marine biodiversity, and divers can reliably see incredible creatures rarely seen elsewhere. This trip was heavily focused on nudibranchs, but I also snapped shots of corals, crustaceans, algae, and other inhabitants of this area's incredible underwater world. You can view some of my favorite photos from the trip in the featured "Anilao May 2011 Favorites" gallery below or you can click on the "Anilao 2011" category and view images captured at each of the sites we visited.
Please note that I've put some of my favorite photos from Guam in the "Guam Favorites" gallery (in the "Featured Galleries" section below). All of the photos from Guam are organized into several sub-categories based on location or the type of site (e.g., waterfalls, northeastern Guam, etc.). From there you can find individual galleries for each dive, hike, or other activity I've done on Guam.
Feel free to leave a comment on one or more of the photos - it's always great to hear what everyone's up to. Enjoy!
