Post Graduate in Accounting, blogger by interest, and an obsessed Scuba Diver, I am Allan Drick, a happy father of one. I had my graduation done from a city surrounded by ocean, which is perhaps the place where I had my first crush on diving deep, Scuba Diving. Until that day, when I first hear my son asking me for fins and snorkels as he was passionate about exploring the bottom of the ocean, I was a wind and kite surfer. It was him who made me think of scuba diving. This gave me the chance to do something extraordinary, something more interesting than just doing taxes and balance sheets. So here I am, turning a diver with my fins and dry suits on and trying to be the next James Cameron, touching the bottom of Marina Trench.

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. I love sharing the underwater world through words and pictures and whenever possible, showing people my favorite dive sites. PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) Staff Instructor
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.
