About the author
Reef ID Books writer and photographer, Andrey Ryanskiy, was always attracted to exploring new horizons in his diving and photography. 10 years ago, his preferences have changed from deep caves and cold-water wrecks to looking for new and undocumented species in the warm waters of tropical Indo-Pacific. Since then, his photographs have been used in numerous publications of professional marine biologists. But the advantages of his Advanced Trimix and Full Cave Diver training do not remain unused. He employs these skills for documenting species that inhabit deep reef slopes beyond normal recreational diving limits.
