Hey everyone. I've been lurking for a month or so now so I decided to finally make an account. I just completed my open water course here in Sydney and am looking forward to progressing. I want to really work on my buoyancy so I can get into underwater photography.
I'm doing postgraduate studies on Biology/Marine Biology here in Australia, so scuba and underwater photography will be a great compliment to my career if I can develop the proper skills. As an undergraduate I did biology and philosophy. I'm probably a better philosopher, but my heart is in the water, so I often feel like a philosopher thrown overboard into the waters of marine biology. That's where my name comes from.
I first found this forum when reading about the various choice of cameras, housings and photography rigs that everyone has when I was hoping to get an underwater camera for a trip to Heron Island on the Great Barrier Reef. The more I read the more I realised I didn't know enough, so I'm still reading as much as I can, and practising scuba in the meantime.
I'm 25 and with only the open water dives to my name, so I expect I'll continue to do much more reading here than anything else, but I'll contribute where I can. If there are any other Marine Biologists around I'd love to hear what you're doing in your parts of the world.
Cheers!
