What I look for in a Dive Operator:

Once I've decided on a destination, I look for a dive operator who knows how to properly host serious underwater photographers. In addition to the things that normal divers want (like great diving!), I look for dedicated camera tables, rinse tanks, and electrical power. Obviously, if the chosen subjects are unique enough, all of these requisite attributes get thrown out the window, but they're still things that are nice to have.

Expect The Unexpected

VERY interesting, Laz! What an unusual encounter.

"chemugle" - I am the photographer who took the photo. Not that I feel a need to justify myself, but there are photos of me taking this photo, and at not time did I grab the animal and hold it by "his legs." You do the web a disservice by assuming the worst and attacking me without knowing anything about the full story.
