SCUBA

Scuba Diving + Music Videos

Like many people, I had a fear of the ocean, and imagined all kinds of scary things below the surface. But while traveling in 1996, I did an introductory dive while in Egypt—and only then could I see I was wrong. The ocean was tranquil, timeless, and full of a quiet magic that has become my anchor point for connecting to nature.
 

Since then, I’ve logged over 700 dives and recently started bringing a camera along, editing the footage to music I love. These videos were shot on a basic GoPro using natural light and edited in iMovie—simple tools, but the ocean doesn’t need much to shine.

"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
