Patrick has a deep passion for the underwater world, having dived in Thailand, Myanmar, the Philippines, and Indonesia. He completed his PADI Divemaster certification over 25 years ago at Chaloklum Dive on Koh Phangan in Thailand. Traveling to Thailand with his family sparked his love for capturing the underwater realm, initially focusing on large schools of fish and megafauna. In the past decade, his interests have shifted to muck diving, exploring the fascinating small critters, especially sea slugs. Today, he captures stunning images with an Olympus OM-D EM1 and has won multiple awards in the German dive magazine "TAUCHEN."
