I'm determined to make 2018 the year I work harder than ever to make the most of every opportunity on offer. Life's too short so remember to live it like it's the only one you're gonna have! Created with

I haven't set myself any new year resolutions, as such, but what I have decided to do is ask the Steemit Community to help me re-capture my creativity.  For a multitude of reasons, 2017 saw me

Put sharks and South Africa together and most likely the image that's going to pop into your head is the gnashing teeth of a fearsome Great White Shark. Well, let's erase that image from your head as sharks

I’d been traveling through mainland Africa for almost a month with new friends I’d made along the way. Our trip was coming to an end so we decided to treat ourselves to a cruise on the Chobe River. We

I'm lucky to live just 20 mins away from one of South Africa's most popular but least appreciated national parks. Over a million people have passed through the gates of Cape Point National Park to take

One of the things about diving is that you're supposed to enjoy it with a buddy. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the best dive buddy as I'm so often lost in my own little underwater world. In fact

What's not to love about the crystal clear water and colourful fishes in the tropical seas? Even if you're yet to experience the joys of floating weightless in the warmth of the ocean it's something we

Just when you think it's safe to get back in the water..........dun dun, dun dun........... Inspired by watching Jaws on TV last night (for about the 100th time, I love that film and how about the contra-zoom

There's nothing like the sound of breathing underwater and a few fishes to start the day off right. Enjoy. Footage filmed in Zanzibar, Tazania Music Credit: Oh Wonder - Heart Hope - Imagem Music - 2015

I can't believe I've been on Steemit for a month already and not posted about the thing that I'm most passionate about...........breathing underwater. I've been taking pictures on dry land since the age

I thought I'd share the story behind the 'African Queen' series of images I took while working for a small coastal conservation charity in Madagascar.  We'd been working in the field for a couple
