Water, nature, animals. Any activity around water is good for me. Weightlessness is a powerful feeling.

Under the surface animals let us approach much closer than above the water. I try to capture what I see, and bring the beauty of it to the surface.

Meet our son Maxwell Leo Lorenz. .moments and I are delighted about his arrival just before Christmas, on the 23rd of December 2024. Never having had success while trying for a baby we were surprised by getting pregnant... without trying.
Our adopted son Kai is excited about his baby brother while our animals can sense they have moved further down in the priority list.

Merry Xmas to all of you and good start to the next year. You can rest assured it will be less stressful than ours :-)

Because I was asked to speak about sharks at several highschools this month I finally fulfilled a dream of owning a real shark jaw. I always talk about the shark teeth, their endless replenishment and amazing serration. And now kids can actually see and touch that.

Thank you to for this beautifully preserved tiger shark jaw that was fished under permit in Darwin.

My guest Christina got an amazing swim-by with a large humpback.

The whales just popped up everywhere that day. In this case right next to Christina and me.

Swipe to see how the whale avoids touching her with it's fluke.

There were maybe 40 Orcas and 20 humpbacks. Everyone was feeding deep so we didnt get to see the shoals but on the plus side the whales needed to catch their breath and there was no scale mess at the surface

Yesterday was a cracker of a day as we got close to Humpback feeding in a deep baitball

Reasons to go to Socorro
1. Only place to meet friendly Oceanic Mantas (the biggest in the world)
2. Up to 12 species of sharks. And lots of them
3. Friendly bottlenose dolphins that even let you swim with babies
4. Lots of fish

We still havd space on our tour this new year hosted by the one and only

Free W***y! Look closer to see how happy this orca was to see

About yesterday... we had a record of six hours of continuous bait balls. most people started giving up after four or five hours but a couple of diehards stayed all the way until the Arctic Sun finally dissolved into the artic mist.

There was some theory on what was happening because these two orca families were creating and pushing around bait balls, very often not actually eating the herring. Maybe they were trying to teach young. another theory was that the herring was in smaller schoals, and most definitely we didn’t have any humpback whales to spoil the party.

Whatever the reason it was a boon for several expedition ships and thousands of seabirds. All my guests got real good close-up experiences with adult males and females as well as younger individuals. It was only day two, we’re excited about what to come next.

Gotta love Bo***es. My favorite bird

Bold, curious, fun and beautiful forward faving eyes make the interaction with bo***es so good.

We had several sightings of these two whalesharks. Tell the size by the jacks riding shotgun

One was the large pregnant female we expected around 12m. The other a surprisingly small juvenile, maybe 3m

Happy 2nd Birthday my little man! What an incredible human you are becoming. And indicators are scuba daddy's big hopes for your love for the underwater world are being met with enthusiasm.

It is a bit bizarre that he smiles every time he is underwater, especially because he would drown if he wouldn't be pulled up. But I will take it as a real good sign.
moments and I are very proud and grateful for little KaiKai

Expedition to Esponala Island With @insiderdivers

This remora needed a new host and ended up choosing my @diveoceanic Oceanic Predator fins Remoras have a modified dorsal fin that has a surface a bit like gecko toes - the ridges create suction allowing them to stick on to fast moving bodies like… me 🤪 Filmed in Ulong Channel, Palau while running an @insiderdivers expedition @paditv #hollisnolimit #baresports #hollisgear #bareyourelement #atomicaquatics @isotta_underwater_housings #isotta_underwater_housings #diveoceanic #isotta-ambassador #isottaredpassion

We are underwater photographers we do not need to go to the gym

You have never been closer to being eaten by a whale LAST MINUTE CANCELLATION - SINGLE ROOM 9th NOVEMBER WITH DISCOUNT This is still my craziest ocean experience to date. I was photographing at bait ball with 50+ orcas in Northern Norway when these two giant Fin Whales shot towards me - giant mouth ajar trying to capture as much herring as possible. This whale can reach 27m and is just a tiny bit smaller than the Blue Whale - but so much cooler You can see they actually turn to avoid me. Even though balleen whales are said to not have forward echolocation I am sure science will disprove this soon. Heading back there in less than a month, can’t wait!!

Ass cancer? Nope, it’s a regular behavior of Mantas after they poo

Ass cancer? Nope, it’s a regular behavior of Mantas after they poo It’s called “intestinal eversion” which Mantas often perform after pooping. It’s looks disgusting but it makes sense. Manta ray it a lot of krill, tiny shrimp, and the hard shells and bits cling to the inside of their intestines. By performing this they clean out the final intestinal tract. Basically a self-made reverse colonic, if you will🫱🏻Swipe right to see the video.
