I graduated from NCHS in 05 and went to NWCC for Equine studies until 07. From there I started training reining horses around Sacramento CA. I didn't like the industry so I decided to get a good job and become a non pro reiner. I moved to Billings MT and started working for Western Plains Machinery. A few years later I came home to work for my dad in the family business. I am now working for Titan Machinery (they bought out Western Plains) in Casper. I love my job, I get to play with machinery all day! I love my horses and I am working towards getting my two well bred mares finished in reining and cowhorse (a lifetime process). And I am just trying to make the best of life.

Madelein Wolfaardt (SealifeMadeleinwolf) I am a photographer living in Cape Town, South Africa. We have beautiful colorful reefs here and of course the magnificent kelp forests. I love to travel. I have a deep love and appreciation for the ocean and all the creatures there in. I am a Nudibranch fan and my favorite marine mammal is the dolphin (cliche I know). I love to explore with my dive buddy who is also my husband an ex navy diver. We love to raise awareness with my underwater images, getting more people to fall in love with the ocean. You protect what you love. SSI Navigation
Magnus (MagnusLarsson) Swedish diveinstuctor gone underwater photographer living in Koh Lanta, Thailand. I love studying the behavior of animals, they measuring you, you measuring them, trying to figure out how to earn their trust to get close, letting them continue with their natural behavior.

Mairead Doyle (mairead) I’ve been blogging since I received my very own domain name for my birthday back in 2003, and I've been diving since 2001. I'm a bit of a fair-weather diver, preferring tropical waters above anything else, but I have dived the north Atlantic and a very chilly Port Philip Bay in Melbourne, Australia. I even got dry-suit certified and my goal is to dive in the Shetland Islands. I hope you enjoy my blog posts.

Matt Draper (mattdraper) Originally from New Zealand, I now reside in the small beach side community of Byron Bay, Australia. With an interest in photojournalism and ocean imagery, photography has allowed me to travel to remote areas of the world-documenting subjects for the purpose of education and positive change for the environment. I started practising underwater photography in 2014 and ever since have tried to use my photographs as a way to spread awareness about environmental issues as well as foster love for the ocean by replacing fear with fascination. I do enjoy to scuba dive, but all my images are taking while free diving under natural light. Matty.
I was warned I might have to argue about how much weight I want (I'm a bouy) and about using my ankle weights. Not one word was argued, Steph cam e to our room the night before and fit us so we didn't have to do this on the boat. The gear was ready, they picked us up and we had a great time. They did everything in their power to make sure we have the best dive experiences we could.
They also had some of the most top of the line rental equipment I've ever used. If every dive operation was like theirs I would never even consider buying gear.
Thank you!
