Cuttlefish

The most beautiful underwater eyes.


Cuttlefish, the one of my favourite models underwater.....I have spent hours with them, learned to keep them calm for the photos..Not an easy job...

They are constantly changing they colour according the backround to camoflage themselves and when they get stressed they will turn grey and black. If is very difficult to get close to them as they are very sensitive.

This cuttlefish is a happy male....He knows he is safe.... with me.

I spent years for waiting a rare occation;....they mating rituals....It is something special to see. Never got that on camera....It is so aggressive and fast, believe me..But I had an honor to be 'lady cuttlefish'; my hand that is. I learned to move my hand in certain way to 'fool' a male and one day, finally, after hours and hours endless hand wiggling my hand had it....the male cuttlefish love.

I am so happy about that.....!!!

Something tiny

We often underestimate the power of tiny. The biggest changes in the world has been created in the grass level first.

HMS Scilla. Plymouth. U.K

This wreck has always been very 'cold' and unfriendly to me...In my head... I have dived it many times; first time when it was sank, second time three weeks later and then many, many times during my years of diving.

I have seen it to change from a clean lump of metal to the cosy home for many underwater creatures.

Today there are plenty of life in this artificial reef of Plymouth.

It is very nice wreck to dive and divers seem to love it, but for me there is always something dark in it...I never feel safe and happy there. I have no idea why.
