I've been sharing images of shipwrecks of late, partly, if I'm entirely honest because I'm really missing my diving and my thoughts keep drifting off towards the underwater world. This post is probably my last on this theme, and whilst I have shared these images before, for anyone who hasn't [...]
Diving and taking underwater images off the UK coast is not always easy; our relative exposure to storms from the west and east make much of our coastline a little rough to say the least. In most cases shipwrecks are severely broken up and hard to identify, yet they contain some amazing and [...]
I've shared quite a few images of shipwrecks lately. As an underwater photographer I am fascinated by these lumps of rusting metal, and the way that marine life finds and slowly colonizes them, creating incredible biodiversity hotspots. Many of these artificial reefs have become as rich and [...]

I've been thinking about shipwrecks of late, after my post about an ancient wreck in Greece. I thought you might like to see these images by way of a comparison. This is Il Motore 'the engine' from Sardinia. There's something I find very visually satisfying about this aircraft engine [...]
I first dived the Peristera wreck, as it is known, a few years back, before it was advertised as a dive site that was open to wider diving community. I have to say, it was a truly awesome experience. The small islet of Peristera sits off the coast of Alonissos, a charming island in the [...]
