Tina Owens


Tina Owens has been a diver for over ten years and started taking photos underwater almost immediately after she was certified under the tutelage of her husband Bob. She now shoots a Nikon N70 in an Ikelite housing with one Ikelite Substrobe 50 and a YS30 slave strobe. She is particularly fond of macro photography, the smaller the critter the better. She even has a couple of potential new species that she has found. You can usually find a large school of saddle wrasses and yellow-tailed corises around her, hoping to snatch a little crab or shrimp from in front of her lens. She and her husband, Bob, never quarrel except over who gets the light table first, or the critter first. Tina is currently the president of the Kona Underwater Photographic Society.
