Graham is a full time dive guide and cruise director with his own business Diving 4 Images. The mainstay of Graham’s business is leading photographic, scientific and survey expeditions. Graham has led many of the world’s leading underwater photo journalists and film makers though still in his spare time he can be found diving round Bali in search of new, rare and unusual species!

Grahams passion for sea slugs came at a real early stage in his diving career. Whilst on Sipadan island in 1997 and constantly seeing plenty sharks, turtles and pelagic fishes Graham wondered what else was down there and with his first dive buddy came no notice the smaller and more interesting marine critters. Later on Graham found himself lost while trying to get to Wakatobi Dive Resort in search of work… Graham ended up on Hoga island homebase of Operation and quickly started to help with nudibranch studies and benthic training for students who were logging data on nudibranchs in this island group! Graham also has his own nudibranch page.

Camera used: As a professional dive guide I can’t take a big camera down with me, I simply use an old Sony T1 with no external flashes or additional tools!
