Featured Customers | Raul Fernandez Caribbean Wonders

I was part of a group of coworkers who were certified in 2004. It was unknown to me, but the group had a bet I would be the first to drop out. Oddly enough, the rest of the group never did another dive after certification. Fast forward 20 years and I am closing in on 1300 logged dives.

I started taking pictures with a simple point and shoot camera. The pictures came out terrible, but it was the best way I could explain the underwater world to the non-diver. After a few years, I moved into a Nikon D80 and started using Ikelite products. I moved to a Nikon D7000 and then a Nikon 7200. I recently moved into a Nikon Z50, Ikelite housing and DS 160 Strobe.
