About Steve
Accumulated over 1000 dives underwater in one of the most spectacular places on Earth. Ever since I was introduced to diving 11 years ago and fell in love with it. Growing up in an ocean-loving environment in Kelantan, Malaysia and only twenty minutes away from the warm beaches of Kota Bharu, being in the water has only been natural to me with the light filter through the surface and onto the walls, rippling brilliant, silent energy all around me, and suddenly realizing I’ve been there, underwater, observing and BREATHING!
Progressively, underwater photography has become a life changing experience on how to connect me with nature the way that is most precious and real to us. A life and a life.
