Here is my latest video about our scuba diving adventures in Anilao in May 2023. Anilao, a renowned diving destination in the Philippines, captivated us with its underwater wonders and warm hospitality. Our two-week stay at Buceo Anilao diving resort was filled with excitement and discovery. The...

Our journey began with great anticipation as we embarked on our first trip to the famous Anilao in the Philippines. Following a friend's recommendation, we had made reservations for a two-week stay at the renowned Buceo Anilao Beach & Dive Resort. The booking process was seamless, as we directly...

Nudibranchs, like terrestrial slugs, move at a slow speed, which is limited by the anatomy of the gastropod foot and by the trade-off between the benefits of moving fast and the cost of speed. The slow speed fits their anatomy and their niche; still for the human vistal system, evolved for...

I had the chance to do some dives with my Inon "bug eye" converter lens, which is a wide-angle lens, but one which allows for a very close focal distance. This lens is tricky to use, anything more than a few cm away from its glass it won't focus on very well. I found that it's a much better...

Since my plans for exploring SE Asia were completely obliterated, I've been spending my days on the couch reading and writing papers. It was becoming a bit too dull so I've decided to try something different for a while. I've always liked drawing and while I'm very far from excelling at it, I...

I posted this one on Facebook but wanted to share here as well. It's a Melibu Viridis nudibranch feasting on krill attracted by my lights. Filmed in Dumaguete, Philippines diving with Atlantis Resorts. Can't wait to dive with these again once we can travel. Anyone else?!

I discovered a new dive site in the Dauin area with an unusual diversity of nudibranchs, and managed to film a few. I used my Olympus EM-1, with a 60 mm macro lens, and a 1200 lumen video light. The camera has an option for a digital zoom, this gets me some really hefty magnification, as seenn...

As we all know, if we just change the way we speak about things we can easily solve pretty much all real problems. This seems to be the motivation behind this petition to change the name of the damselfishes to “Hooliganfishes”. It would certainly be a more apt name for the very aggressive fishes...

I've had the pleasure of spending a few weeks in Siquijor, Philippines, and made a few videos: This is a medley of the fishes one can see in the ocean around here ... quite diverse, and lots of larger snappers left too, which one can't take for granted in densely populated Southeast Asia. One...
