419 Dive Log Australasia AUGUST 2026

Tame Turtles at Father’s reef diving love divers and come out to play. Pam is a favorite model and shows all of the best features of an excellent dive model. Diving on Febrina

dive to photograph. So we enjoy the dive. I will take test shots and get the light and composition angles to my satisfaction. When I have the technical stuff sorted, I will call in the model to pose. Then, the teamwork begins.

Work in pairs to develop technique. One of the best techniques is for two photographers to work in pairs. They can take turns posing with a sea star, for example and develop their skills. Pretty soon, you learn how to help each other with posing, composition and so on.

Emma Louise from Byron modelled for me. She is so calm that the Leopard shark was happy to rest for a while. The water was filthy so the only solution is to get as close as possible.
