Aloha,
My name is Mike and I would like to share some of my underwater photos with you. I began my diver training in southern California in 1987 with Pacific School of Scuba where i became a NAUI Divmaster. during a dive in 1991 in Truk Lagoon, where i was working as a DM, Jim Church handed me his Nikonos RS and asked me to finish the roll out. That was my first underwater photography experience. Kul!
For me Photography is about perception and light, two things that are in constance change, Remember "don't fear change".
Underwater Cameras;
Nikon D90 and a 10.5mmfisheye in a Aquatica housing with duel Nikon 105 strobs
Nikonos III and Nikonos V with the nikkor 15mm f2.8 and
