Brandi Mueller (Brandi) Diving and photography are my passions and I've been lucky enough to be diving since I was 15 years old. Currently I'm a PADI IDC Staff Instructor and have been instructing in the Caribbean, Hawaii, and the South Pacific for 9 years and have a USCG captain's license.

Bryan Swanson (SubmergedPhotography) As a biologist and underwater photographer of over 14 years my true love is bringing the beauty of sea life to the eyes of everyone. I have photographed reef systems all over the world and have seen first hand why marine conservation is extremely important. Overfishing and pollution from runoff are just a couple examples of human impact destroying marine ecosystems. I believe we can stop this destruction through education and bringing local governments around the world to focus on marine conservation. I hope my pictures help with educating and influencing a love for marine life. My fiancé Jen and I are traveling to the Philippines in May for our Honeymoon and can't wait for some amazing diving.
Chris Paparo (FishGuyPhotos) Born and raised on Long Island (New York), I have been exploring the wilds of the island for over 30 years. As a wildlife photographer, writer and lecturer, I enjoy bringing public awareness to the diverse wildlife that calls the island home. My passion for coastal ecology, fishing and the outdoors led me to obtain a BS in Marine Science from LIU/Southampton and I currently manage the new Marine Sciences Center at the Southampton campus of Stony Brook University. In addition to freelance writing for several fishing and wildlife related publications, I currently writes the monthly Naturalist’s Logbook column for the NY/NJ edition of On The Water Magazine. Although my work tends to focus on marine life, everything in the natural world is fair game.

My wife and I dove with Aqua Tci from March 3rd through 14th, doing ten 2 tank dives each. We highly recommend this dive operation to anyone contemplating a diving holiday in the Turks and Caicos. We would give them six stars, if Dive Advisor let us.
A typical diving day with the friendly accommodating owners, Stephanie and Bill Wallwork, starts with a hotel pick up around 7:45 am, a two tank dive at West Caicos, NW Point or Sandbore Channel, followed by a drop off at your accommodations around 2:00 pm. Conditions sometimes allow them to take divers to French Cay as well. Besides most of the typical wildlife and coral found throughout the Caribbean you will see turtles and sharks patrolling the reef walls on almost every dive and if you are fortunate, dolphins and maybe even a humpback ...
