A word from Paul
“Thanks for visiting the flog. HD2O™ was a concept from my days in the US Coast Guard. It wasn’t feasible to bring a film camera underwater, and the television standard was doomed. Technology would advance the viewer experience, so I watched and waited.
Click for detailed view
The light came on as Panasonic introduced the AG-HVX200 camera. (2005) The time was finally right for me to shoot HD underwater. I now had experience with specifically High Definition content. Plus a post production boutique that is more than capable to deliver.
All the stars aligned. One day and I was off to the Key West to begin shooting the series HD2O. I returned to where the whole thing began thirty years earlier, my daughter Kelly was born in Key West: She’s a Conch. My son Chad, former Navy Helicopter SAR Swimmer, joined up a week later for a sweep of the northern Keys.
Some things ARE worth the wait. Don’t let anything get in the way of your dream, not even time. Do no harm. Thanks for reading.”
Regards, Paul

Hi there–didn’t know how else to contact you. Can you post this release and set up a link to our new resource for coral reefs? See below. Thanks, DeeVon Quirolo, Reef Relief Founder
Online Coral Reef Resource Now Available at reefrelieffounders.com
Reef Relief founders Craig and DeeVon Quirolo retired from the grassroots organization last July, only to begin an effort to provide an online resource on coral reefs. Their new website provides all the award-winning educational tools, grassroots strategies, project reports and images of coral reefs assembled during their work over the past 23 years in the Florida Keys and throughout the Caribbean protecting coral reefs. You can find it at http://www.reefrelieffounders.com.
“We just wanted to insure that others can learn from our experiences and continue the important work of saving endangered coral reefs,” noted DeeVon. “Craig’s image archive from all the years he monitored coral reefs, especially those revealing new coral diseases, are invaluable to researchers, students, media, divers and the general public to learn about coral reefs. We hope to inspire a new generation of sea fans!”
The Quirolos new website features blogs on reef news, science and even offshore oil, along with over 10,000 free images of coral reefs from coral surveys in the Florida Keys, Jamaica, Cuba, Bahamas and elsewhere. Craig Quirolo has produced numerous reef videos on the Youtube site accessible from the webpage. So check it out, make it a favorite and return often to see new posts and add a link from your site to this new resource for saving endangered coral reefs. For more information, email dquirolo@gmail.com or go to http://www.reefrelieffounders.com.
