“Snoot is life” – A first time snooters experience

“Snoot is life” – A first time snooters experience

May 14

Snoot is life – By Tommy Stylski My initial experience with a snoot was during our Bluewater Photo workshop in Anilao, Philippines earlier this month. I completely dismissed the idea at first, I thought it was just another gimmick accessory my trusted underwater photo store was trying to sell me on 😉 I wanted nothing to do with it. I felt as if I was capable with strobe positions and...

Macro in Mendocino

Macro in Mendocino

Aug 20

Northern California is known for a wild and rugged coastline, and while the diving may not be for everyone, it lures in hearty divers from all over the state. The cold, nutrient-rich waters are packed with life.

However to make the best of the situation I enjoyed shooting...

You can see large schools of fish, beautiful reefs, hammerheads, wrecks, snorkel with whale...

Chasing Color in California

In case you haven’t heard, we’re seeing some epic visibility in Southern California. I was able to get in a couple dives in off the beach in Malibu on Saturday and shoot some wide-angle in the kelp for the first time in about 13 months. For some reason, we usually get this vis mid-week or while I’m out of town! So grateful for this opportunity to create some wide-angle...

We’ll be performing some...
