Miquel Pontes
Photographer, Editor, and Project Manager in Barcelona, España
Professionally I'm a computer systems engineer, in charge of a hospital datacenter and network operations.
I'm also an underwater photographer and amateur naturalist. Diver since 1994, I have hundreds of logged dives in the Mediterranean, Caribbean and Red seas, and the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans.
I have participated and participate in all kinds of environmental divulgative projects (books, magazines, websites, conferences, TV programs, exhibitions …) as a way to spread my main interest: to protect the seas and their creatures.
