Introduction

Skip's Underwater Image Gallery is the personal web site of New Zealand based amateur diver and underwater photographer, Ian Skipworth.

The Underwater Image Gallery was conceived in July 1996 when Skip started scanning a few underwater photos and creating HTML with a text editor. It's now a repository for several thousand of Skip's images and continues to be added to with content from recent diving adventures.
