The holiday chronicles!

Welcome

The following pages give an insight into my life by showing several of the overseas trips I've been on. My wife, Sally, and I both hold PADI Advanced Open Water Diver certifications and have been lucky enough to experience a wide range of diving in and around Perth and Rottnest Is, the HMAS Swan (Busselton) and Exmouth, along with several overseas locations; such as the shipwrecks of Chuuk Lagoon (Micronesia), Tulamben (Bali) and Vanuatu.


Ski Holidays.

We have travelled to Steamboat Springs (Colorado), Crested Butte (Colorado), Japan (Shiga Kogan, Kiroro, and Furano), Banff (Canada), Sun Peaks (Canada), Mt Hutt (New Zealand), and Mont Tremblant (Canada) skiing.



Dive Holidays.

The highlight of our overseas diving has been our two trips to Chuuk Lagoon, Micronesia. We stayed aboard the dive boat the S.S. Thorfinn and enjoyed some of the best wreck diving in the world. Other dive expeditions have taken us to Tulumben (Indonesia) and Vanuatu. In Australia we have experienced a wide range of diving in and around Perth and Rottnest Is, the HMAS Swan (Busselton) and Exmouth,

We have also travelled to Hawaii, Guam, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Las Vegas, The Grand Canyon, Fiji, Japan (The Castles of Japan), Langkawi, Hong Kong, Niagara Falls, New York, the Ice Hotel (Canada), Egypt, Dubai, Turkey, and Penang, where we have enjoyed a range of activities, including sightseeing and relaxing.

Camera Equipment

The underwater pictures were taken using a Sea & Sea MX-10 with YS-40A strobe, close up and macro lenses. The land shots were taken with either my Sony A550 DSLR with either a 18-250mm or 70-400mm Lense. I also use a Sony Cybershot for the panoramic pictures and some of the action shots because it is small and easy to carry.
