About Us
Marine Graphics is a Thai based graphic design company that began in 2004.
My name is Nicholas Dittmer. I started out in Thailand as one of the many scuba diving instructors in Phuket. During the first four years of my stay I amassed a collection of over 20,000 underwater photographs with which I created the products you can view on this site today.
 In my free time I'm a diver and a fisherman. Thailand is home to some of the largest freshwater fish in the world and a number of purpose built lakes have sprung up all over the country stocked with some of the world's rarest and biggest fish. Ironically, fishing and conservation can sometimes be mentioned in the same sentence with regards to these venues as fishing is strictly catch and release. Take for example the Mekong Giant Catfish whose name is now on the endangered species list thanks to damming of the Mekong River and ruination of spawning grounds not to mention more destructive forms of fishing. However its popularity as a sport fish has led there to be thousands now in captivity and the Thai Government is involved in a very effective breeding program which is even seeing Mekong Giant Catfish being released back into their natural habitat. Hence I can fish with a clear conscience.
