Topic – Underwater Photography

Holly Marr, SDI SCUBA Instructor with Twin Dolphins Diving. I’ve been diving since 2002 and fell in love with the underwater world. After diving for a couple of years, I wanted to take back more than memories and began taking pictures. My passion for underwater photography started with a cheap disposable camera on a shallow dive and soon moved to housed cameras with many more options. I enjoy sharing my photos- taking people to places they may never get the chance to enjoy for themselves.
