Progress !

WOW - seeing some great things going on here in Sosua!

There are numerous murals being done around our city to help beautify it, a campaign has started to reduce the garbage and some excellent new changes on our beach!

There is now a properly roped off swimming area, a confined area to be used for swimming or scuba diving lessons and a limited area for the boats to come to shore!  No more "banana boats" screaming past you when you are trying to swim!   GREAT to see the progress.

The diving has been incredible!  This has been one of the best years for visibility since I have started to dive here in Sosua.  Getting some great macro shots of really small stuff!  The little creatures are all between 7 and 15 mm!  Loving the macro lens and the flexibility it gives!   Have to say, the wide angle is great down on the wreck as well!

It's been great to have returning divers to dive with!  People come back year after year and remain good friends!  Thanks for all the wonderful experiences.

Remember to check out the "PRODUCTS" page where you can order prints or merchandise delivered right to your door in N. America!   here in Sosua, Microjet Technologies can print any print you want!  Contact me for details.

Have a great summer, and please help save our oceans and our planet

June Update - Lectures and Great Diving

6/3/2019

0 Comments

 

Hello there and thanks for joining me here!

It's been another great month here in Sosua on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic!  The diving has been super, great friends have been back to visit and I've had the opportunity to talk at 2 schools about our ecosystem and the need to take care of it for the future.

The International School was kind enough to let me speak to the Grade Six class!  It was great!  Very intelligent and enthusiastic young minds and wow - they asked great questions!  

Later last month I had an opportunity to speak to an adult group at IIC Spanish School.  It was great to see so many Dominicans concerned about the environment, the ocean, and the future.  We even had a few local divers show up and take in the lecture!   

On a continuing great note, there are lectures scheduled back in the campo and also at the Mariposa Foundation!  Great to see the momentum starting to build!

Lots of hope for the future!

The diving has been very good; visibility remains fine!  Been focusing on the "little things".  Working with a 60mm macro lens and a diopter to bring out the detail in eth really small stuff!  The little blennies in the photos above are about 3/4 of 1 inch long and only about 3/16 of an inch across the head!  These little guys may be my new favorite friend in the ocean!

Have a great summer, enjoy this beautiful country and please tae care of our ecosystem.
