Dive Watch vs Dive Computer
What is the difference between a dive watch and a dive computer?
As a child I was obsessed with anything related to the ocean, especially if it was underwater and long before I started diving I had seen enough James Bond movies featuring Rolex, Breitling and Omega dive timepiece, as well as ads for beautiful analogue dive watches in magazines and newspapers to ‘know’ that if you were going to be a real diver you needed a fancy analogue dive watch to
Check out this months souvenir edition of Digital Camera Magazine featuring some of my freediving photography. I’ve enjoyed reading this awesome magazine for years so I am very grateful to have my work be featured!
Originally featured on Amanzi Magazine: Being from Cape Town I have spent years underwater exploring and photographing kelp forests, diving with everything from sharks and seals to whales and even otters while discovering the immense diversity our local marine ecosystems has to offer.

Salvimar 4One Footpocket Review
This review is aimed at competitive and recreational Freedivers (deep diving). Some time ago I did some research to find the best footpockets for a pair of newly acquired carbon blades and although there are quite a few options available on the market, my search was finally narrowed down to two brands.

Pathos Fireblade Review
This review is aimed at recreational and competitive Freedivers (deep diving): After a disappointing run with my previous footpockets (Salvimar 4One – a review to follow), I decided to go for the other current favourite among spearos and freedivers…the Pathos Fireblade.
