Mohan Thanabalan
Hi there! My name is Mohan (a.k.a Scubaholic), currently a PADI Divemaster & PADI Digital Underwater Photography Instructor and been doing underwater photography for 4 years now. Started scuba diving in 2004 and been diving non-stop!
I first started my passion for underwater photography in 2005 when my OW instructor started taking picture of nudibranchs and other small stuff. I found that nudibranchs are such colourful creatures and so I bought my first camera which is a point–and-shoot Canon IXUS 500 with WP-DC800 housing.
My passion in photography grew much more as my nudibranch photo collection got bigger & better! I enjoy mostly shooting macro stuff underwater.
After winning my very first photo competition @ Malaysia International Dive Expo 2006, I decided to save up big and finally I took a giant leap into DSLR camera setup. My setup is now a Nikon D80 with Nikkor Micro 60mm lens & Nikkor 10.5mm Fisheye in Hugyfot D-80 Housing with twin Inon Z-240 strobes. I LOVE them!
I’ve also won some other photo shoot-out prizes as well. Most recent is the Perhentian Underwater Challenge 2009 which I won 4th prize for Open Category.
What keeps me diving and taking photos is that I’m always amazed bout the stuff I see, especially macro stuff. Can never get enough of it! I love shooting clown fishes too! Amazing!
I currently run my own small scuba business, known as Scubaholics Anonymous (www.scubaholic.blogdrive.com). We organize diving trips, underwater photography courses and for those that want to take the first plunge into the ocean, we offer PADI courses from Open Water Diver right up to Divemaster courses.
I always look forward to my next trip and taking more great pictures beneath the sea. My motto is: Live The Life, Just DIVE! Nothing beats any dive! So to all the scubaholics out there, dive safe & keep the bubbles flowin’!
