Thank you Ian Marriner and Ian Medcalf

Tonight the awesome duo delivered a wonderful presentation. We were taken into the depths of the ocean through the most incredible images and video. The audience was entertained and educated. The session generated a lot of questions.

We were exposed to a different level of photography. Not only must these photographers be able to heave heavy and expensive equipment around, they must be experienced divers, be able to read the weather, understand oceanography and marine biology before clicking the shutter button!

Underwater photography is an art in itself. It is no easy task.

I think we all came away with a healthy respect for these incredible people.

Thank you to the two Ians for your presentation. It was greatly appreciated.
