Good to meet you all, my name is Abraham and I realized how fortunate I am to be living in within the coral triangle.

These places hold a special place in my soul:
1) Melissa's Garden @ Raja Ampat
2) The whole stretch at Tulamben
3) Lembeh

Did a open water course in 2010, didn't dive at all until 2018 and then Covid happened, been playing catch up ever since the borders opened. I think I got around 150 dives logged so far.

I started shooting underwater when two complete strangers diving from the same resort lent us their spare TG-4, when we told them our guide, Mr Gede Noris, spotted a Cyerce kikutarobabai during our morning dive. My fiance and I managed to get an awesome shot of a it the next day, and we were blown away at how awesome this point & shoot camera captures is. We bought the TG-7 the month it got released and I'm now shooting with 2x AOI Q1RC + Backscatter optical snoot (attached via an adapter). In the future I hope to be able to shoot high quality videos of insanely small critters, but in the mean time I am contented just to be able to go on a dive trip once a year.

Also, if anybody who reads this happened to dive Jeddah '87-'88 with Victor Organ's operation, please let me know!

Hi Abraham,

Welcome aboard! It’s great to have you here. Living within the Coral Triangle must offer some truly unique diving opportunities.

Looking forward to seeing some of your work, and I hope you’re able to fit in another dive trip soon.

Aloha and welcome!
