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!

Via Magazine- Valley of Fire- Turner Forte Photography

March 18th, 2011

The latest issue of Via Magazine has one of our photos from the Valley of Fire, a red rock playground, outside of Las Vegas, Nevada.  When visiting Vegas, not many people explore outside of the city, but this is definitely worth the trip.  The rock lights up a vibrant red at sunset and there are many hiking trails to explore.  If you look closely, behind the guy standing in the photo, you’ll see some petroglyphs as well.  Check it out!

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.
