Hi Christopher -

Thanks for visiting. And thank you for mentioning how very important it is for divers, and especially photographers, to wear a full divesuit as protection.

Coral scrapes, fire coral and hydroid burns, and the occasional sting are occupational hazards for underwater photographers.

To everyone else: Go and have a look at Christopher's website. He lives in Florida, where he paints and photographs marine life.
