"What do you do when your island home
is in the cross hairs of climate change
and faces forever being swallowed
by the tide of a rising ocean?"

While on Arno we visited a pretty incredible reef. You might say it was like an underwater fjord that you could pretty much wade out to the end of and that just dropped off for as far as the eye could see. For a guy like me who had never been snorkeling before this was quite an experience, the color of the water was a blue I had never seen before and the amount of life that you saw was sureal. We are blessed on this trip to have use of a great piece of equipment; an underwater housing for the Canon 5D Mark II, in most of these shots you can see the crew putting it to use – I cant wait to upload some footage from these sessions on the reef, this really is an amazing world. We are currently working on a short trailer for the show which when we post it will have some of these shots, but in the meantime I figured I would toss up these photos I managed to take with my little underwater digicam to give you a glimpse at one of our shoot locations.

My first time snorkeling, luckily I have these shots to remind me of how amazing the experience was…PB250928

Always bring an Auzzie out for these kinds of shoots. This was Paul’s first dive with the camera and after literally having it in his hands for less than half a minute he dove down and swam through this fissure – the shot is sick! PB250932
