Focusing in on Wreck Week
in the British Virgin Is-
landsThe world is changing so fast and our
oceans are following quickly behind. With
reefs disappearing at the blink of an eye, the British Virgin Islands have stepped up to help create new reefs by scuttling old
ships to create new man made reefs to allow new life and to supply previous ma-
rine life with new habitats.
This issue will be dedicated to those around the BVI who went on a mission to give back to our oceans. I hope you make
a visit to this awesome area and dive the wrecks of the BVI!

VIRGIN GORDA
Above: The World Famous Baths
Left: Looking east towards open Atlantic
BVI’s quit island life conjures up secluded beaches
and turquoise waters. These shots from Virgin Gorda’s
east side are just that, secluded and rich with vibrant
greenery. Virgin Gorda is a MUST visit Island.
Virgin Gorda is the third-largest (after Tortola and Anegada) and second most populous of the British
Virgin Islands (BVI). Located at approximately 18 degrees, 48 minutes North, and 64 degrees, 30 minutes
West, it covers an area of about 8 square miles (21 km²). Christopher Columbus is said to have named the
island "The Fat Virgin", because the island's profile on the horizon looks like a fat woman lying on her
side.
The main town is Spanish Town on the southwestern part of the island.
An unusual geologic formation known as "The Baths" located on the southern end of the island makes
Virgin Gorda one of the BVI's major tourist destinations. At The Baths, the beach shows evidence of the
island's volcanic origins, as huge granite boulders lie in piles on the beach, forming scenic grottoes that are
open to the sea. North of the Baths is the Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbor, formerly owned Little Dix Bay. The
most notable ruin on Virgin Gorda is the old Copper Mine.

VIRGIN GORDA - THE BITTER END
THE BITTER END YACHT CLUB
During our one week of touring the BVI’s we were invited to a different location almost every day. Day 4 was an overnight at the Bitter End Resort. Here we were treated like gods, the staff was first class, the food was 5 star and the rooms made it feel like you were lost in some jungle retreat, where the villas were built into the jungled hills that overlooked the gorgeous reefs of the North Sound. One night was not enough, its one of those places where you sigh with relaxation as soon as you step into these very cosy rooms.
Bitter End Yacht Club is the Caribbean's premiere luxury water sports resort, hosting family fun vaca-tions, romantic getaways, and idyllic escapes for all. Located on the island of Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands , Bitter End is uniquely situated along a mile of shorefront on the protected waters of the North Sound. The barefoot elegance that characterizes this island outpost is why Bitter End is regularly hailed as one of the top full service resorts in the world.

VIRGIN GORDA - THE BITTER END
The unique architectural design of there famous original cottages offers you the opportunity to truly enjoy the natural environment for which they were built. All villas have two twin beds or one king-size bed, ceil-ing fan, refrigerator, coffee maker, large dressing area and shower with sea view, and a wrap-around porch with a double-size hammock. They are designed to catch the balmy trade winds night and day.

VIRGIN GORDA - THE BITTER ENDAfter we all had a chance to unpack and shower af-ter a few excellent dives, we all met at the Clubhouse steak and seafood grill for dinner. The Clubhouse Steak and Seafood Grille is Bitter End's landmark restaurant, featuring generous buffets and table serv-ice for breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as cocktail service on the terrace all day and evening. For over 30 years, it's been a favorite rendezvous for visiting boaters and famished resort guests alike.
Our dinner consisted of a full 6 courses and a ton of cocktails. The food was exquisite, done to perfection and laid on the plate like it was a Van Gogh paint-ing.
Legendary throughout the Caribbean for their– ele-gantly casual open air dining, homemade soups, freshly caught fish, homemade pizzas, breads, and pastries, Bitter End has three distinctive dining ven-ues.

COOPERS ISLAND BEACH CLUBNestled within the coconut palms of Cooper Island is a
very cool, laid back place called the Cooper Island
Beach Club. Tiny and unspoiled, it is free of roads,
nightclubs, shopping malls and crowds, providing the
perfect escape from the stress of everyday life. We
stopped here twice for lunch between dives and for a
few drinks at days end, and trust me, when they say its
the perfect place to kick back and relax, there not ly-
ing! World Famous dive sites are easily accessible, fea-
turing coral gardens, canyons, and of course, a TON
of wrecks, all teeming with an abundance of marine
life. On site you will find one of our favorite (and rec-
ommended) PADI dive facility, Sail Caribbean Divers
offers daily dive trips, courses, air fills and water sport
rentals.
The majority of diving takes place around the “Little
Sisters” island chain, made up of Cooper Island, Dead
Chest, Ginger Island, Norman Island, Pelican Island,
Peter Island, and Salt Island.
Explore beautiful underwater gardens, pinnacles, cav-
erns, vibrant reefs and one of the most famous dive
sites of them all, the RMS Rhone. Sunk during a
storm in 1867, the 310 foot Royal Mail ship now rests
on the west side of Salt Island, just minutes away from
Cooper Island.
We dove with many operators while in the BVI, but
Sail Caribbean Divers were voted the best from our
team of International media. Sail Caribbean Divers
delivers the most professional and personalized dive

ACCOMMODATIONS
Just steps from the ocean, our six duplex cottages are
nestled in the hillside and surrounded by coconut
palms and vibrant tropical foliage. From your balcony
enjoy fabulous views of Manchioneel Bay and The Sir
Frances Drake Channel.
Each open-plan living room/kitchen/bedroom is
spacious and decorated in a traditional Caribbean
style with vaulted wooden ceilings. The rooms offer
one queen bed or two twin beds, and the screened &
louvered windows allow the continuous gentle
breeze to pass through with the soothing sound of
the ocean's waves. Therefore we are pleased to say
there is no air conditioning.
At the back of each studio an en-suite bathroom
and 'almost-outdoor' shower, with private staircase,
means you can go straight from the beach to your

DIVE ZERO’S PRO VIDEO TIP
When traveling with your camera, always leave a note explaining the contents of your imaging travel case.
The equipment in this industry can look pretty funny on an x-ray. A clear explanation can go a long way. If you are using a hard travel case filled with foam, print out labels, and stick them under each item with a bit of superglue. This will make it obvious when you write 'underwater batteries' next to those large cylinders with wires hanging out. The nice guys behind the scenes won't be getting worried. There are horror stories of airline security officers prying open underwater camera cases with flat-head screwdrivers. How do you think your seal will take that? We are aware of ongoing settlements with the airlines due to improper handling of imaging equipment.
This note should be duplicated in the language of the country you are traveling to.
This can make the handling of your luggage go smoothly. Write it up once, modify and print it out for each trip. Be sure to be thorough, this can also be used back at home as an inventory of your case. Take a digital picture of your items, and leave that at home with the inventory list, just in case something should happen.
Here is a suggestion for a start:
Dearest Inspector,
This is an underwater camera housing. It is made from machined aircraft aluminum. It is used for taking underwater photos. Please treat it with care.You will find the following items in this case:

2 PHOTO PRO TIP
Cathy ChurchPoint Of Interest
DIVE ZERO’S PRO PHOTO TIP
When a person looks at a photo, their eyes are first drawn to five aspects:
1. the brightest,2. most colorful,3. most contrasty,4. sharpest areas and5. if the subject has eyes, it is drawn to the Eyes.
A great photo is often one where most or all of these aspects converge at the main point of interest. A distracting photo is one where these areas conflict and there is not a clear majority found at the main point of interest. For example, if the blurry foreground is also the most brightly lit by your strobe you don't know if the bright area is the main point of interest. Your eye is drawn to the bright part but you quickly find that the attraction was a false lead--it is blurry. You now have to search the darker areas for what you assume should be the main point of interest. Or, is the more colorful red sponge background more important than your black nudibranch. And so on.
Look at your photos and ask yourself for each one--where are the eyes, and the bright, colorful, sharp, contrasty areas. Do they lead you to what you feel should be the main point of interest? If there is no bright, colorful, sharp, contrasty areas or eyes, is there some other feature or pattern that makes up for that? It is hard for a photo to be great without some or all of these aspects.
Does your photo encourage your viewer to look immediately at your main point of interest?

Give a vote for each part of the subject that has one of these aspects. If each aspect is in a DIFFERENT part of the subject, it creates too much confusion. If the main part of the image gets three votes or more, it has a better chance of being a good photograph.
There are many other elements to a great photo, but, disregarding the rarity of the subject, tying these areas together will give you a starting point on evaluating a good photo and to help you improve the next one you take.

DIVING WITH THE CUAN LAW
Above: Getting the briefing for our upcoming dive of the wreck
of the Checkuzen. Right: getting the sails up for full sail.
As we went full sail, we were served a lunch made for kings,
and talked about some of the great dives we all had in the past.
To be sitting at a table with great photographers such as
Mauricio Handler (National Geographic) John Binton (Diver)
and Barry Guimbellot (Dive Training) just to mention a few,
put me in a place that left me in awe, these guys were and still
are some of my heres!
After diving the Checkuzen, we set sail for a quite bay off of
Virgin Gorda. Here we dropped anchor, prepared for a 5
course meal exquisitely prepared by Chef Shasha Muirhead
(daughter of Duncan and Anny), then prepared for our night
dive where I buddied up with Mr. Binton. That dive we saw
huge amounts of Stingray and large Tarpon.

DIVING WITH THE CUAN LAWAfter a relaxing night dive, we indulged in
some drinks and dance, during which the
death of Michael Jackson was announced.
Jasmin Jaerisch of Tauchen Magazine from
Germany loaded up her Ipod to the Cuans
music center and we paid tribute by dancing
and doing shooters from a water ski! (showed
left, Jasmin left me on right) What a great
night, one I will never forget as long as I live.
After the party we set to our very cozy cabins,
and slept to the slight rocking motion of the
Cuan Laws rhythm of the ocean. We awoke for breakfast and set sail back to Tortola where our next ad-
venture would begin at the Moorings.
Make sure to visit Dive Zero TV to get the full deal and see what a great ship the Cuan Law really is!

HODGES CREEK MARINA
Sitting marina-side on the island's East End, this hotel puts you in the middle of the nauti-
cal action. If you're heading out on a chartered sailboat or if you especially enjoy the marine
scene, this is definitely the place for you. Rooms are carpeted and have tiny balconies, but brightly colored spreads and curtains give them a tropical feel. There's a small pool and the CalaMaya Restaurant in the complex. Sail
Caribbean Divers are on sight and made a very easy walk to the dive boat

Dive Zero’s The Dive Villages Photo Contest has rapidly become on of the hottest, and most popu-
lar photo contests on Facebook!
This month, we partnered up with H2O Photo Pros for Julys photo contests theme of “Natural
Light” I found it to be one of the toughest to judge. None the less Azim Musthag pulled it out of the bag with 33 votes to win H2O’s sweet as camera bag...congrats! The photo on the right is his winning
photo.
After viewing the guide, I would recommend you do go check out H20’s website at
www.h2ophotopros.com
Augusts theme will be a fun one! We are going to try to take our skills from under the water to top-
side, and have the theme as “beached”. This theme is just what it sounds, could be a ol wrecked boat,
or maybe a sexy model doing her thing, just as long as it somewhat sticks to the theme...it will pass!
Time for a lil fun, release some pressure and let loose!
As a gesture to all photographers that have been submitting there photos and won, or placed 2nd or
3rd...Next month I will be doing a special edition video, with all top placing photos to music, and
running it on Dive Zero TV! Massive publicity to all who have placed, a time to get your image...and
your name out there.
Any questions, concerns or comments, please e mail me at [email protected]

scuba diving. The sport of scuba diving should be thanking Rob for his creativity and new angles that he has brought to the sport. Robs also a very accomplished under-
water photographer as well.
Growing up as a sponsored skateboarder, after high school, Luke decided to change his life completely 180 degrees around. He decided to become a scuba instructor. After completing the
course, he decided that he would take up underwater filming
instead. He came up with the idea of Dive Zero in late 2005, and has worked on it almost
everyday since. The whole idea was to bring to scuba diving,
what skateboarding, snowboard-ing and every other extreme sport has - a lifestyle. When Luke is not working on Dive Zero, scuba diving, traveling, and getting through everyday
scenarios that life brings, he still manages to find time to skate-
board for his sponsors.
