Karena pekerjaan saya sebagai Instruktur Selam, saya memiliki banyak kesempatan untuk mengembangkan hobi ini tanpa perlu merogoh kocek terlalu dalam. Sejak revolusi digital di era tahun 2000an, perkembangan fotografi bawah air menjadi semakin cepat, bahkan akhir2 ini, semakin banyak saja orang membawa kamera kedalam air. Kendala biaya yang dulu merupakan momok utama sudah dapat diatasi.   Apa Kendala Fotografi Bawah Air? Untuk menekuni fotografi bawah air, diperlukan skill dan pengetahuan yang sedikit berbeda dengan fotografi darat. Seorang fotografer bawah air memiliki waktu yang sangat terbatas didalam setiap sesi foto. Waktu penyelaman sangat tergantung dari kedalaman, ukuran tabung selam yang dibawa serta kondisi lingkungan dan kondisi tubuh si fotografer (misalnya kalau menyelam di daerah berarus, tentunya... http://ciptoag.multiply.com/journal/item/4/Sekelumit_Tentang_Fotografi_Bawah_Air Thu, 20 Mar 2008 10:56:24 -0000 Reef Check International Scientific Expedition - West Sumatra - Aceh, Post Tsunami Expedisi Penelitian Terumbu Karang Paska Tsunami, Bagian Barat Sumatera – Aceh 17 – 31 Oktober 2005   16/10/05 Perjalanan dari Medan menuju Sibolga kami lakukan dengan menumpang pesawat merpati.

Kisah perjalanan ke Aceh......, "Diving in the Disaster Area and War Zone" Pada tanggal 4 Januari 2005 yang lalu, saya menerima telepon dari Metro TV untuk melakukan perjalananke Aceh dengan misi melakukan penyelaman dan pembuatan video tentang sebuah kapal tenggelam di Aceh. Pada waktu itu, tidak banyak informasi yang kami dapatkan, bahkan kami tidak di informasikan tentang jenis kapal, lokasi, dan juga kondisi perairan yang hendak kami selami. Setelah berkoordinasi dengan beberapa teman, akhirnya kami memutuskan untuk melakukan perjalanan tersebut. Anggota tim yang berangkat adalah: Arya Subijakto, Tipi Jabrik dan saya.   Pada tanggal 5 Januari, kami berangkat dari Bali dan langsung menuju ke Medan dan bermalam di Medan. Keesokan harinya kami melakukan perjalanan ke Banda Aceh melalui jalan darat sepanjang +/- 600 km. Rencana semula kami akan diterbangkan dari Medan ke Banda Aceh, namun ternyata kami tidak bisa mendapatkan tiket pesawat ke Banda Aceh, sehingga ditempuh... http://ciptoag.multiply.com/journal/item/2/After_Tsunami_in_Aceh...
