Sandrah Gurash

My start in diving was as a multiple time, resort course drop out. No problem in the pool, but once we were in the ocean and an instructor was controlling my decent, I'd start thinking that if anything happened to the instructor I'm on my own and really know nothing. Eventually I did the full cert course, got my own gear and have enjoyed diving at every opportunity I get for the last 8 yrs.

I came to underwater photography when my husband (Drew Wohl) was ready to upgrade his first digital set up. Getting me interested meant that he'd always have a good reason to buy new rigs and a home for the old ones. (How could I say no to his purchases when they mean that I get something new too?)

I'm passionate about the oceans and have gotten involved in a variety of conservation projects and helping to raise awareness of issues affecting the health of our world's coral reefs. This has included producing short videos with my husband. We've won and placed in competitions, had our work shown at SDUFEX, and at local venues. I also do ocean and reef conservation presentations at schools. If my photos or video can show just one person what's in our oceans and convince them that the oceans are worth protecting, then it's all worth it.
