Chuuk Lagoon
and other wrecks.

Truk Lagoon, Vis in Croatia and New York Harbor.

From my wreck-diving photographs.

Wreck diving has been one of the most fascinating parts of my underwater exploration. What draws me to it is not only the history, but also the atmosphere: the silence, the sense of discovery, and the way the ocean slowly transforms what people once built, used, or lost.

Wrecks sit at the meeting point of human history and the natural world, and each site tells a different story.

Chuuk Lagoon (Truk Lagoon)

Historic wrecks, wartime remains, and one of the most remarkable underwater museums in the world.

Vis, Croatia

Adriatic wreck diving shaped by history, family exploration, and clear Mediterranean waters.

New York Harbor

Local underwater exploration in an unexpected environment shaped by industry, history, and the hidden side of the city.
