Endless darkness, no sea floor, and no shore in sight? Welcome to Romblon, home to some of the best blackwater diving in the world. Prepare to be amazed by a nocturnal cabinet of curiosities, where the most bizarre and unusual creatures rise from the depths of the sea to reveal their full and strange beauty.

As freelance authors and photographers, we are delighted to have found another great opportunity to present our stories and impressions from the depths of the world's oceans to an interested readership through EZ DIVE Magazine, the first bilingual diving magazine and largest Chinese diving portal in Asia.

Admittedly, all the underwater photographers have their favourite subject that they would like to photograph during their diving career. Whether all their wishes will be fulfilled is questionable. Especially when it's a hairy octopus. So rare that most underwater photographers can only dream of this motif. For us, it was a dream come true. Without doubt - the hairy jackpot!

The oceans: they make up 70% of the Earth's surface, form 97% of our water reserves and harbour 80% of all organic matter on our planet. We must therefore work to restore a new balance with the oceans so that their abundance is no longer depleted, but instead gives them back their vitality and breathes new life into them.

The next step has been taken! From the OM-1 to the OM-1 MKII. As our demands on our photography grow, so do the demands on our camera. With the OM-1 MKII, OM SYSTEM gives us a new creative tool that meets our underwater needs 100%. While the underwater photography community is still discussing snoots, we are already creating new compositions with an unprecedented bouquet.

If there is a critter capital in the realm of our oceans, for us it would be Bangka on North Sulawesi with its obscure cabinet of curiosities. Weird creatures that seem to outdo each other in their colourful appearance. For us, the dive sites around Sea Souls Dive Resort are a wonderland and an endless playground for underwater photographers.
