SCOTT ?Gutsy? Tuason is pretty good above water, but he?s best known for his groundbreaking work as an underwater photographer. His striking and sometimes dreamlike images from down below have captivated people worldwide.

Tuason is gathering his underwater images over the last 20 years ?in a sort of ?best of ? collection but tied in with a theme which I cannot yet mention. It will be a surprise.? RSDV
