    From back in April

    A Great White Shark attacked our boat last week in S.A. – a tough inflatable zodiac! One of the pontoons popped and it started to sink. Watch the amazing attack.

    Swimming with Beautiful Manta rays of the coast of Nusa Penida, Bali, Indonesia. It doesn’t get much better than this! On a diving and snorkelling trip to Nusa Penida we encountered a group of Manta Rays who certainly weren’t shy and seemed to be showing off for us. Such an incredible experience and now i can’t wait to go again!

    This June, it’ll be six years since the accidental death of Joshua Collingsworth. At two-and-a-half years old he drowned in his family pool.

    “We thought we had all the things in place to protect our son with the pool,” his mother Kathy said. “But, it was just a false sense of security.”

    In that time of despair, the Collingsworth family says they put Joshua to work from up above. Drowning is the number one cause of death in children four and under, now the family is trying to change that statistic. They started the Joshua Collingsworth Memorial Foundation.
