For many, scuba diving in the Galapagos Islands is a lifetime ambition. The Pacific ocean west of South America has long been a favourite for underwater addicts, but this small group of volcanic islands off the coast of Ecuador, elevates diving to another level. Galapagos scuba diving introduces visitors to a world of unprecedented natural beauty, containing life not found anywhere else, and a sense of wilderness that will appeal to any fan of the great outdoors. 

It's a place which, excuse the cliche, needs to be seen to be believed, capable of fulfilling the expectations and more of any serious scuba diver.

This is my fourth trip with Richard. Even though I am not an active underwater photographer, I go because of his unique ability to build a group of fun loving people and inject more fun and value into the trip.  His warm and open personality serves him well as does his enthusiasm for teaching the finer aspects of photography.  I attend his photography lectures to watch a master in action.

Richard encourages so many different approaches to lighting and developing that I stop worrying about getting the shot and start stretching myself creatively. His enthusiasm for the entire process of photography is infectious and invaluable for photographers of all experience levels. He makes dive trips a whole lot more fun. And I've been making better photographs, too!
