Think Green - think Ireland!

I started this project as my hobby and also because I wanted to show other people that Ireland was very beautiful not only above but under water as well. So for a long time I could work on it only when I had a chance: I had to catch the sun (it’s important for underwater filming) and calm weather, be free off work and my family duties, be able to travel, etc. As a result my project was progressing very slowly but I wasn’t too worried because most importantly I was enjoying what I was doing. But I discovered a very important side of my project when a professor and marine biologist from Trinity College found my videos on the internet. He explained to me that my photos and videos could not only be used to promote snorkelling, tourism and art, could not only be used for education and researches and the protection of the environment, but they could also positively affect the development of the whole Irish economy if the information about my work would reach the public.

     And the reason is simple: all my photos were taken and all my videos were recorded while snorkelling right below the surface in different freshwater estuaries and the sea in Ireland only. All those views in my photos and videos are visual attractions and they are a very valuable natural resource which with the right utilization can earn millions of real money for the Irish economy. But at this moment this Nature’s gift is absolutely not being used which actually means that we are wasting our resources. It’s an unforgivable mistake in relation to the entire nation and it will be an even bigger mistake if we keep ignoring it. I’m doing my best in order to deliver this information to public, to make all people around the world aware of these hidden treasures. But I can’t do everything alone. I need help. We all will benefit if we make these priceless resources work for us. Our country, our nation, our kids deserve a better life and a better future so why wait for someone to help us? Let’s do it ourselves and let’s do it now. Please contact me on to get full details about how you can participate in the development of this project. If you are a company or if you are representing some business I could promote your brand and your production or your services on my website, at my exhibitions, in my videos in exchange for your help and your support. There are many other ways to take part in the development of this project and I would be glad to hear your ideas and propositions. In order to help this project progress faster you do not need to be a company or to be rich. You just need to believe that Ireland deserves a better future, that people should know about all this hidden beauty, that our children should be able to see clear water and all this beautiful wildlife not in pictures only, that together we can do much more. If you could help with recourses, finances, materials, service – it’s great and it would help so much but if you can’t help with any of those – you still can help loads by sending the information about my project and my videos with my e-mail address to anyone you think might be interested. Maybe they would be able to help, or if they also send this information further– someday the information will reach the right person at the right time. If you wish to help but you have different ideas, propositions or suggestions I’d be happy to talk to you any time. In exchange I promise to work as hard as I can to help this country and its people now and in the future. Because I want our children to breathe the same fresh air and to see the same green hills. I want them to be able to show their children what I’ve discovered for myself and what I’m happy to share with all of you. So here below is a list of my sponsors and supporters. I'll be happy to add your name to it.
