T-shirts Now Available!!!

Due to popular demand from my dog and others, I have now added a series of T-shirts and other products that you really need. They're on my CafePress site.

Go here for a look. We'll be adding new sections and darker colors soon.

We like the service and quality of the products and especially the nifty gift wrapping you can ask for.

AND, we are also selling some art image T-shirts from my favorite dive model, artist Yoko Higashide.

Check these designs as well.

Yoko's watercolor art is inspired from her many years as a guide in Palau and is both cute and very accurate.

Enjoy and thanks for looking.

YouTube Foray

OK, here's my first foray into YouTube with this short video shot here in Guam while testing the Aquatica D90 (AD90) underwater housing. It is fun to switch to video mode and very easy with the new, compact housing the Aquatica makes.

Here's the video:

Stay tuned for more.

We sell this housing and other Aquatica equipment, by the way. Check us for prices and availability.

Exploring the Philippines

For the last 2 weeks and for about 3 more I will be exploring the Philippines as part of an assignment for Lonely Planet to update the Diving and Snorkeling Gudie to the Philippines.
For week we went to the Sulu Sea aboard the Expedition Fleet's Stella Maris. We enjoyed glassy seas. This is a World Heritage reserve and is producing
beautiful seasonal days and exciting dives.

We also visited Donsol, which is known for its whale sharks. But we also dived Manta Bowl and enjoyed the Donsol fiesta.


We're now exploring the reefs of Anilao at Outrigger and then we move on to Malapascua.

The Philippines has lot of variety. We're trying to sample it all for the upcoming updated dive guide due out January 1, 2010.

Keep posted for more PI exploits.

This is a great site as it caters to pro photo buyers but also anyone who might want to purchase a small print, mug, etc.

Have a look and pass the word if you like what you see.

Also, I am just finishing up two new BLURB.com books. One is Grand Cayman Island.

The other is BONAIRE.

These beautiful Caribbean destinations will run 160 and 200 pages. Should be available in a couple of days.
