One of the joys of this trip is getting up early to watch the last of the night sky with brilliant stars and even shooting stars, and the early chat of birds on Roca Partida. Mexico.

Socorro Island. One-two-three, Go! We all backroll together and begin to descend onto the dive site, as I clear the bubbles off my lens and adjust my strobe, I see the dark manta shaped shadow out of the corner of my eye. Quickly I take a test shot to check my exposure and start lining […]
