Carine Schrurs is a Swiss national living in Belgium. Other than snorkeling, she had no great interest in diving until she started sailing and crossed the Atlantic. After watching the dolphins in the Azores and snorkeling with sea lions in the Galapagos, she decided that it would be nice to follow them past her free diving capabilities. Upon her return to Europe, Carine became a PADI instructor and set off to dive the world oceans. For her photography, she uses a Nikonos RS, a Nikonos V and a Seacam F100.

Carine is currently working with Constantinos Petrinos on a book project about the behaviour of nudibranchs. The author is marine biologist David W. Behrens and the title is "Nudibranchs: Flamboyant Butterflies of the Seas". Her sponsors are Kungkungan Bay Resort, Singapore Airlines and Silk Air.
