First update from Nassau
First update from Nassau
Saturday, August 22, 2009
Well it’s been a while since my last update but I have moved from Koh Tao to Nassau, Bahamas. It was a pretty easy decision to make once I was offered the position of photographer/videographer at the world famous Stuart Cove’s dive resort. I have always wanted to dive with sharks, and they run a daily shark dive and feed, and I have been very eager to learn videography which is something they told me I’d be trained to do. So when they asked if I wanted the job, I pretty much said, how soon can I start?
I have now been here almost two months and it is everything I hoped it would be. I have had many opportunities to dive with and photograph sharks, and I am currently doing my video training. The opportunities here are endless as we also work with Hollywood productions (think Jaws 4, Into the Blue, Casino Royale), as well as television channels such as the Discovery Channel and the Underwater Network. A few weeks ago we had the Miss Universe contestants here riding the mini submarines an I was their photographer. So for the next while I am pretty sure I will be quite busy learning the ropes, trying new things and enjoying the warm Caribbean sun. Ah, life is good.
