Territory Ahead Cover Photo- Turner Forte Photography

December 12th, 2011

Here is one of our covers for the year…from Territory Ahead.  It was taken on San Miguel Island, one of The Channel Islands off the coast of Santa Barbara, California.  It was an amazing day where the fog cleared enough to illuminate the white sand beaches on this wild island.  We hiked up to the top of the island through a diverse and interesting landscape.  You can visit this island on a kayak tour with Channel Islands Outfitters. We highly recommend it!! Hike, kayak, dive, fish…an adventurers dream!

Diving with Dolphins, Jacks, Trumpet fish, Yellow Fin Tuna and many more critters at Socorro, San Benedicto, and Roca Partido the Revillagigedo Islands by Turner Forte Photography

June 17th, 2011

Here is a blog post titled “Diving Here is Like Swimming in an Aquarium” that I wrote and was published by Nautilus Explorer on their blog.   Of course, I included a few photos below too!

The boiler today proved once again that diving here can be like swimming in an aquarium. We entered the water with schools of Big Eye Trevally Jacks in the blue around the boiler and thousands of colourful Wrasse’s all around the top of the boiler. Dropping down and moving around the nooks and crannies are filled with lobsters, moray eels, hawk fish of all sizes and varieties, and an occasional octopus den. Moving deeper we found groups of Moorish idols feeding along the wall and Bluefin Trevally swimming just outside of us trying to figure out what we were up to. Rounding the north end of the boiler we ended up in an unusually large school of Burrito Grunts. After a fantastic lunch by Juan Carlos we returned for a second dive at the boiler that proved to us once again that thousands of fish in all shapes and sizes and colors would adorn our dive.  In the distance beyond the jacks we had a large school of Yellow Fin Tuna that circled the boiler for most of the dive and just before we were getting ready to head in we had one last visit with a Giant Pacific Manta that swam into our group and waved us all a goodbye.

Revillagigedo Islands- Scuba Diving Trip by Turner Forte Photography

June 15th, 2011

We’re just home from an epic scuba diving trip down to the Revillagigedo Islands and the Sea of Cortez with the Nautilus Explorer. These deserted and far away islands including Socorro, San Benedicto, and Roca Partida are about 250 miles off the tip of Baja, or 30 hours by boat.  The islands are volcanic in nature and home to a plethora of marine life including Pacific Giant Mantas, a variety of sharks, dolphins, whales and more. Here is a taste of the view above water…stay tuned for our underwater shots next!

Turner Forte Photography- Hoerzu Wissen

May 7th, 2010

James’ shot of this lovable clownfish and anemone was published recently in a German magazine called Hoerzu Wissen.  Most people think of Nemo when they see it.  Here’s what James said about the photo:

“The clownfish photo was taken in the Solomon Islands on a reef named Velvia Reef.  The photo was taken at night while clownfish are calmer.  I marked the area during the day with a buoy so I could come back at night and take pictures when the animals are more relaxed.  Clownfish during the day tend to dart all over and hide from you.  At night they sleep or relax in the safety of the anemone.  The anemone info is:  magnificent sea anemone,  Heteractis magnifica.  These anemones are poisonous top fish, but not man.  Hence they offer protection to the clownfish from predators.”

Sport Diver- Turner Forte Photography

April 12th, 2010

Belize is like Swiss cheese.  There are endless caves and subterranean tunnels, and one that we explored, Caves Branch River, is just outside of Belize City.  We tubed through the jungle floating in and out of caves and caverns.  With head lamps lighting our way, we disembarked a few times to explore the stalagmites and stalactites.  The water is a little frigid, but the anticipation and adventure keeps you going.  Check out Sport Diver and the opener to their Belize story to see our work! Cheers.
