Community Role
Debbie (dawallace99) joined Wetpixel in August 2015, introducing herself as a Florida-based diver who had recently taken up underwater photography. Of her 342 posts, 334 (98%) were in the Classifieds forum, making her one of the forum’s most active gear traders rather than a technical contributor.
She described herself as having been diving “for quite some time” but only recently delving into underwater photography within the prior couple of years.
