Camera Meets a Shark
A camera meeting a shark sounds like the start of a joke—or the beginning of a story. That’s exactly what this blog is about: tales of adventure, conservation, and discovery aimed at building an emotional connection between people and marine life.
Here, I share field stories, encounters, short reflections, and the incredible people and organizations shaping the ocean’s future. Whether it’s a shark encounter, a dive with rays, or a moment of insight from the field, every post offers a glimpse into the world beneath the surface—and the journey of those working to protect it.

A Return to the Reefs of Belize
A decade after our first visit, we returned to Belize to explore Lighthouse Reef and Turneffe Atoll — a place where eagle rays glide beside you, coral walls glow with life, and every dive reminds you why this coastline stays etched in your memory.

This is the story of how a simple moment beneath the surface set everything in motion.
