Been a bit quiet on this end for a while, but wanted to post some photos from our checkout dive at Durrance Lake last weekend to see if we needed to do another lake cleanup. Overall not that much garbage down there which is positive, but we wonder what these tire structures were dumped for. I know in hawaii they used to dump tires for artificial reefs, maybe that was done in Durrance Lake as well? If anyone knows, please let us know. Still lots of fishing line wrapped around the sunken trees, and sadly one fish that got tangled up as well.

Jo’s Story

About the photographer

Joakim Hjelm has been diving in Hawaii since 1998 and started exploring underwater photography and videography in 2000 with a borrowed underwater camera. Taking photos and videos quickly became his driving force for diving. To him, it almost feels pointless to dive unless a camera comes along to capture and share the underwater realm.

Joakim especially enjoys wreck and cave photography but also takes pleasure in capturing the magic of marine life. Having travelled to numerous locations such as Truk Lagoon, Fiji, Belize, Mexico, Philippines, and Bahamas, he has been able to develop his own style of photography.

Joakim has worked as a photographer for Hilo Hattie, in addition, he worked as the underwater technical advisor for Hawaii 5-0 for one of their episodes, participated in a commercial shoot for Atlantis submarines, and had video footage published by PBS in The Flintlock Disaster, a documentary about a lost squadron of Corsair fighter planes.
