Events over the past week or so have been just shy of chaos. A lot of unrelated things have been happening at the same time, all requiring my attention.
My natural tendency to get distracted with new projects, ideas or interesting stories in the news hasn’t helped much either, as I often find myself […]
This is an editorial (252 kB) that appeared recently in ultraMARINE magazine, a bi-monthly publication in the UK for aquarists. Also downloadable from my iTunes podcast.
Going through my photo library for a project last week, I came across this image of a black grouper (Mycteroperca bonaci) from my trip last year aboard the M/V Shear Water in the Bahamas. Much to my dismay, I was never able to find time to write about the enjoyable and educational trip, as […]
Last night, my blog suddenly went down with no logical explanation. I tried everything I reasonably could given that it was late at night and I was tired.

This is an interview that appeared in DIVE Magazine in the UK recently. The main topic is an encounter I had with a juvenile sperm whale some years ago, one which left an indelible mark on me, fortunately in a good way.

It’s been 17 years since I’ve experienced the transition from winter to spring. I’d forgotten how wonderful this time of year can be.
