Aruba's Caribbean Ocean & Coral Reefs


Photography plays a big part in my life. I love capturing moments and being an avid snorkeler I decided to capture the beauty as I see it under the sea.
Four years have gone by with underwater photography and creating a blog for what I have seen is to be shared for everyone. Aruba's ocean is slowly dying, locals don't seem to know the facts of  the critical matter at hand with our coral reefs dying out and the government is doing little to nothing to protect, preserve and save the reefs surrounding the island.
As everyone knows about the Great barrier Reefs coral dying off due to climate change it is also here in Aruba. This global trend needs attention that is why my family and I  decided to take action in photography and graphing the locations to get the word out and let locals, tourists and the world see what soon will be a destruction of our marine life as we know it.
