Hola from Cape Town

Roger Horrocks · 18th July 2007, 08:45

Hi all,

I'm a keen underwater photographer who up till now have been shooting all my images 'on one breath', apnea style. Recently I saw footage shot by underwater cameraman Didier Noirot while using a rebreather of humpback whales and the true potential of these systems from a photography perspective struck me like a bus! Unreal.

So I'm committed to following this road, despite the expense. I do not intend to buy a system just yet, but want to get technically and theoretically up to speed in the meantime.

Looking forward to learning from you all.

Roger

Welcome Roger

I have no doubt that you have come to the right place.

Enjoy your stay at Rebreather World - there is nothing else like it!

Hi Roger

I'm also based in Cape Town, am a keen underwater photographer and got my Inspiration last November. I have just completed the normoxic trimix course and now I'm raring to get my camera in the water.

Send me a PM (or I'll get your number from Duncan) and we can arrange to get together. There are a couple of other Rebreather divers/photographers about.

Cheers
Ken
