While looking for open source dive log applications on F-Droid (in preparation for my Advanced Open Water Certification) and I found an app called Subsurface and apparently it is as developed by none other than Linus Torvalds himself.

I also found this neat YouTube video of Dirk Hohndel talking about scuba diving with Linus.

I took this at Apo Island Dauin, Philippines. A cooperative turtle and dive buddy.

This Pygmy Seahorse was photographed a few years ago in Pemuteran, North Bali. I think it's a pregnant male.

The biggest eel I have ever seen living on a shipwreck near Grand Baie, Mauritius. I have video of it just two weeks later with the throat cut open.

I took this photo a few years ago when I was diving near Phi Phi Island, Thailand. One of my all time favorite dive photos.

I was really lucky to get this photo of a barracuda taking a dump during a safety stop. You can actually see the fish head bones. It must not be fun to pass those. Taken in Grand Baie, Mauritius February 2025

This octopus was out and about during the day. Always fun to see them fully out of the holes they hide in. Grande Baie, Mauritius February 2025

Titan triggerfish near Grande Baie, Mauritius. These fish scare the crap out of me. I was once chased by one protecting it's eggs.

Removing ghost nets caught on reefs near Negombo, Sri Lanka. A day of bad visibility made worse when moving the nets. Sri Lanka January 2025

I dove this wreck and many others in February 2025. This is the Silver Star. One of the many great wreck dives around Grand Baie. Mauritius.
The photo is of my dive buddy heading up to do our safety stop.

Diving the Water Lily wreck at Trou aux Biches, Mauritius. This gorgeous eel put on a show and I was so happy to come across it.
