“From birth, man carries the weight of gravity on his shoulders. He is bolted to earth. But man has only to sink beneath the surface and he is free.”

Jacques-Yves Cousteau

When I was a child I loved to watch the adventures of the Calypso with Jacques-Yves Cousteau as it's captain and the beautiness of the world that is below the ocean's surface.
It's still an overwhelming feeling for me when I have the chance to dive. I love the elegancy and calmness of the world under water standing in contrast to the hectic atmosphere above.
I'm shooting with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II in a UK-GERMANY housing. My most used lenses under water are the Canon 17-40mm wideangle and the 100mm Canon macro lense. The pictures are lighted with two Ikelite DS-125 strobes that got some modifications from Mike-Dive and positioned by ULCS strobe arms. I'm trying to shoot my pictures as best as I can and to always learn from the experiences.
So, Mr. Cousteau, please guide me. I'd appreciate it. :-)
