WELCOME !

Some of my best underwater photographs are presented. They are all original pictures.

They are sorted by date ; the MOST RECENT galleries being at the TOP of the list.

They are presented by location. Each gallery shows around 20 photographs, sometimes a little more, sometimes less...

After each new diving trip (i.e. 3 or 4 times a year), I'll add new galleries, so come back from time to time to see what's new ...

Enjoy !

The most recent pages are bilingual and the scientific names of species are specified.

I must apologize, as I didn't have time to translate all the pages. For the oldest galleries, indications about the photographs are available only in French ; I hope this is not a major problem : photographs speak their own language which is international.

The most recent sets of photographs are bilingual !

Nevertheless, I'll try to take some time, later, to translate the whole thing... Hopefully !...
