The world of underwater photographers is so small, you sometimes feel you know everyone. How sad to loose someone that made such amazing images.

This is tragic. I've admired his vision and talent for many years. Only 48 too. I'm bummed.

The small world of u/w photography has lost a very talented person.

 

We will miss his images in photo competitions on both sides of the pond.

Very sad news indeed. I didn't know Alessandro Dodi, but I greatly admired his work. To be known and remembered for having created beautiful images is no small thing - I hope someone will collect these comments and on-pass to someone among his family or close friends.
