, the small company with the big ideas!

Sorry, the guy above is not I, Leif Samuelsson. (His name is Anarhichas lupus, read more at "The Great Grey".) We have a lot in common though. We don't like to pose for a photographer, but we like the underwater environment. Photography however, especially underwater photography, is part of the business. Making equipment for underwater photography is another, see below.

The marine environment has fascinated me ever since summer 1954. Dressed in a borrowed mask, I put my head below the surface, and was immediately caught by the underwater world ! Since then I have experienced not only this lake of my childhood, but several different underwater environments. My favorite dive area however, is the Gullmars fiord (on the Swedish west coast). Apart from having a most beautiful mix of animals in an exciting environment (see below), this fiord is the most scientifically investigated marine area in the world !
