Tor Inge Leidland was born and raised in Egersund. In the autumn 1992, he took his CMAS * certificate, and since then dived regularly forward to date. In line with the change of certification, and equipment configuration, a camera has also become a part of the equipment under water. From the beginning with a compact camera, it is now a Sony A7 full-frame who have taken place in the nauticam uv house. Interest in UV photography is the engine behind the diving. There is always an exciting new design, or an image that can be done better. Everything is about to adapt to the environment and the seasons, there is always something to take a picture of.

Angling is also something he has been doing since childhood. In the early beginnings a light spinning rod, in a small river was one of the most intrigued, this has evolved into fly fishing and deep fishing. Trolling after salmon by boat is also something that he spend some time at in the summer season.
