Deb_O_Ray Photography: Capturing the Magic Underwater

Deb_O_Ray Photography. It's my passion, my love, my art. I've been a nurse for 32 years now. That makes me sound really old, but I still enjoy the outdoors and traveling. I particularly enjoy diving and photographing the underwater creatures and their habitats.

I started diving in 1978 and took up underwater photography 2 years later. Besides enjoying the natural beauty of the sea, I feel called upon to relate to others the need to preserve it. The best way I've found to do this is through photos. I feel that if people can see what they are trying to save, it'll mean more.

I started out diving here in Lake Travis, then quickly went on my first dive trip to San Salvador, Bahamas. I was hooked! Since then I've dove all over the Caribbean, Australia, Indonesia and the Philippines.

I've had some scary moments like when I came up in the Florida keys from a dive to find that our boat was gone after the anchor line had been cut by the reef. But the things I really cherish are the mulitude of inspiring moments like the whale shark I got to swim near, a school of eagle rays soaring below me like a squadron, and the time I got to pet a curious stonefish (venomous) that came to check me out.
