Gregory Lemoine Australia Diving at Age 50

My Other Passion

Diving and underwater photography. It's what I do when I'm not stuck in the desert or going home to see family. Enjoy my collection of photos and videos that I have taken over the years.

You can also view an earlier website I created a few years ago on Wix to celebrate some of my trips to Maldives, Indonesia, and Australia.

Dad's Swan Song Dive Trip

Under Water Photography online magazine.

My Dad turned 80 in 2023. He and Jeff joined me in the Maldives for two weeks on the Carpe Diem Live-a-Board. After the trip, I submitted an article in the online magazine called Under Water Photography. The final pages are called "Parting Shot". This is the story I submitted that was published in May of 2023 Issue 132. Download it. Read it. Subscribe. It's free.

Underwater iPhone 13 with DiveVolk 4 Case in the Maldives

2024 onboard the Carpe Vita in the Maldives. I took the iPhone 13 and DiveVolk 4 underwater casing down to 30m (99ft) for thirty dives. The final colors were adjusted with the SeaReal App! Thank you Carpe Vita! See you again soon. When I'm not diving, I am an international teacher. Are you a burned out teacher, new teacher, current public teacher? School leader? You can be an international teacher too. Here is a bit about where to start: The International Teacher Podcast is a bi-weekly discussion with experts in international education. New Teachers, burned out local teachers, local School Leaders, International school Leadership, current Overseas tTeachers, and everyone interested in international schools can benefit from hearing stories and advice about living and teaching overseas.

My Short Diving Comments

Minimalist

I usually only dive with basics. I'm not one for all the "extras". BCD, Loved Fins, tried & true $100 mask, absolutely no wetsuit, regs, dive computer, and my iPhone setup. Nothing more.

I also have a dive buoy and reef hook in my pack for "those" dives.

Nitrox? If multiple dives and available...always a yes.

Live-a-Boards

After moving to the island, with easy access to the Maldives, I have fallen into the live-a-board dive life. I cannot imagine diving with a regular dive club anymore. Uggh. I'm jaded. The 5 Star life of live-a-boards has ruined me.

Of course, we'll see in another 1 1/2 years when I stop making all the money I do now. Beggars can't be choosers. I might have to go back to dive shops again - purely a financial need.

How Deep Have you Gone?

I really hate this question. Almost as much as "how many dives do you have?" or "how many certs do you have?".

Who gives a rip. My usual answers are respectfully "I don't know" and "enough to dive with you, but not enough for my addiction" and "I'm retired from instructing".

Bucket Places

Palau, Micronesia

Cocos Islands

Live-a-Board Galapagos

Raja Ampat

Antartica (yep, but only to photograph a leopard seal)

Bora Bora

Bucket List Critters

Unless I am on a specific dive targeted at pelagics, I love the small stuff. There is more to see in one square meter of tropical reef than most divers realize. I could spend an entire dive on one coral head. However, don't guide me into a sand patch. I need reef and fish. I've spent enough time in the desert.
