Did you ever watch the old Batman TV series, you always knew it was the villains lair because the angles would change ↗️ ↙️ a powerful use of framing, I hear photographers sometimes say diagonal lines are strong 💪🏽 #sidemount #sidemountdiver #sidemountdiving #padi #utila @PADI – at Honduras

ne amazing instructor for every day of the week here at #diveutila ! Congrats to our seven new @PADI OWSI's who continue to keep the bar high for the regions most comprehensive and high level instructor training. Compromise elsewhere. 🇩🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇳🇱🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸🇫🇷 #padi #utila

Ice-ee-you! like anything else of extreme nature #icediving can seem like dangers outweigh experience...until we introduce training, gear, procedure, planning & maturity to name a few safety enhancing tools. Operate within training & comfort is how we best manage risk @PADI #padi – at Honduras

And just like that, in the blink of an eye, 14 days of IDC have passed. As we close the October program we send our best wishes (and instructor candidates!) to the upcoming PADI IE here on Utila ✌🏽🇭🇳 @PADI #padi #padiidc #utila #utilaidc #idcutila #instructordevelopmentcourse

A few weeks ago we went in search of Snooty the Lemon Shark. She hangs out around the waters off Jupiter in what we found to be sharknado of interaction! Yes there were lots of Lemons but also lots of Sandbar, Silky & Bulls too. #shark #sharks #sharkdiving #padi @PADI – at Honduras

Making some final gear checks before getting ready. The surface was rough so check, double check then triple check! @PADI @apeksdiving @DiveShearwater #sidemount #sidemountdiving #padi #paditv #utila #diveutila #underwaterphotography #tecdiver #tecdiving #techdiver #techdiving – at Honduras

Devils Grotto at Eden Rock on Grand Cayman. I always loved this site, it's tailor made for a nice calm tour with numerous points to stop off & observe the marine life, the interesting layout of the reef or dancing sunlight bursting through the openings above the swim throughs – at Honduras

The storm before the calm 🌪️ jumping in with six cylinders creates a few bubbles but makes for a great shot! @PADI @apeksdiving #sidemount #sidemountdiver #sidemountdiving #paditecrec #padi #scubadiving #utila #underwaterphotography #tecdiver #tecdiving #techdiver #techdiving

Just using that effortless buoyancy control that Sidemount gives to observe these blue tang in the shallows, see how it looks like they have electric blue outlines?! ⚡️🩵💙 #sidemount #sidemountdiver #sidemountdiving #bluetang #findingdory #padi @PADI – at Honduras

It's like I'm emerging from the depths in this image. I mean, it's quite literally what's happening but you see what I'm going for! #tecdiver #tecdiving #paditecrec #padi @PADI #utila #diveutila #tecutila

I look ready but I'm not. I still have two more cylinders to attach before it's time to jump. I now see the practical benefits of squats in the gym 💪🏽 #TECutila #paditecrec #trimix #trimixdiving #padi @PADI #utila #tecdiver #tecdiving #techdiver #techdiving

Checking out one of my biggest fans, a Gorgonian sea fan! The shallow reefs of Utila are home to an abundance of life all perfectly illuminated in that afternoon sun @PADI #padi #utila #coralreef #sidemount #sidemountdiving #apeksdiving #waterproof #scubadiving

The definition of a motley crew is a 'group of people of mixed background, especially one with a common goal'. So I use it as term of endearment towards this months IDC! Wish them luck ✌🏽 Emily🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Sophie🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Chris H🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Margot🇳🇱 Remi🇫🇷 Chris K🇩🇪 Kellianne🇺🇸 Sebas🇺🇸 @PADI #padi #utila – at Honduras

Winter isn't too far away so here's me trudging through snow to get to a dive site to serve as your reminder that diving doesn't need to stop! @PADI @apeksdiving @waterproofdive #padi #icediver #icediving #drysuit #drysuitdiver #drysuitdiving #scuba #scubadiving

Who's your favourite @PADI pro and why? I'll start... Erin, because when she dives with me she wears black & white fins 🖤🤍 #padi #paditv #scuba #scubadiving #scubadiver #utila #diveutila #underwaterphotography – at Honduras

Wow you look cool...is what I said to myself...out loud! So I grabbed the first person I seen to take a photo! 📸 firstpersoniseen @PADI #sidemount #sidemountdiver #sidemountdiving #TECutila #padi #paditv #scuba #scubadiving #scubadiver #utila #diveutila

We may have moved well passed summer & are heading towards winter, but this is opportunity to try new things in diving...like drysuits or ice diving. I'm running my annual @PADI ice diver cert trip between 23-25 Feband anyone is welcome (anyone comfortable in a drysuit that is!) – at Honduras

#Sidemount diving is a feeling, you just know that it's right when everything is dialled in. The buoyancy hits differently & effortlessly. We have just completed our last 50m decompression dive which I completed on Sidemount - #weaponofchoice #padi #tecdiver @PADI @apeksdiving – at Honduras

Tec50 graduation photo makes me think of the great Dr. Peter Venkman, "Suck in the guts guys we're the Ghostbusters"! And, we did complete the course at Duppy Waters which, if you know Utila, means ghost so it's all kinda fitting!!! 👻 @PADI @apeksdiving #padi #utila #tec50 – at Honduras
