I posted a few months back about my diving mishap. Quick background revist- I had problems equalizing, and after surfacing my left ear felt full and I had constant popping and clicking in my ears. After a week or so things seemed to improve however so I was optimistic. However after some loud...

My current scientific interest centers around shrimp gobies and the shrimp which they live in a symbiosis with, by sharing an underground burrow. Since these often very pretty gobies are popular with divers and underwater photographers, too, I have set up .... The Shrimp Goby Page The page...

If you haven't already checked it out, I can recommend "Sex in the Sea" by Marah Hardt. I'm a biased reviewer since the book features some of my own underwater photographs of mating fish and cephalopds. But I can very honestly recommend the book, it has the kind of science writing I like...
