Do you dream of traveling the world and capturing the most breathtaking
marine life? From vibrant reef-scapes and majestic pelagics to the tiniest, most adorable sea critters, join me on an exhilarating photographic journey. Together, we'll explore the depths of the ocean, uncover hidden gems, and share tips and tricks to help you plan your next aquatic adventure for a fun, productive, and less stressful trip. Please plan to join the club at the February Meeting on Feb 6th.

Lureen Ferretti is a passionate nature photographer and photojournalist, specializing in underwater imagery, who draws her inspiration from the serene beauty of nature and the delightfully humorous behaviors exhibited by animals.

As an ocean enthusiast, she wields her camera as a powerful tool to capture and share the unique personalities and behaviors of marine life, reveals both the delicate beauty and the vulnerability of our environment, and simultaneously document its tragic destruction caused by unwitting or indifferent human actions.

Her mission is to raise awareness, educate, and motivate people worldwide
to take action in safeguarding this precious ecosystem — a lifeline for
countless creatures including humankind.
