Jackie Saddlers discovered scuba diving when she was 14, during
a holiday in Cozumel with her parents. It became a real passion:
she
passed her PADI in high school and then passed her webmaster
and instructor certification in college.
After graduating from law school, she decided to take a sabbatical
underwater. She first went as a divemaster on a few live-aboard
cruises in the Caribbean, where she got acquainted with underwater
photography using a Nikonos V.
With the money she saved, she bought a Nikon camera and housing,
then flew to Hurghada in March 1997.
Knocking on all doors, she found all sort of jobs as divemaster
and instructor, both in days trips and live-aboard cruises. She
took every opportunity to take her camera around and shoot over
2 000
photos during her 6 months stay.
When the scuba diving season ended in November, Jackie flew back
to the USA, where she started a lawyer career. Although
she is now married and has three kids, she still goes scuba diving
each year and keeps shooting wonderful photos of the underwater
paradise... soon to be discovered on this website!
