My earliest memories of the world beneath the ocean surface, were of following my dad while he was spearfishing off the coast of Keawekapu on Maui. I was a little boy and it was the mid 1950’s.
Few people lived in South Maui then. The road was dirt and the beaches seemed to be my personal domain. Now, over a half of a century later, I am scuba diving and my passion for the sea has become obsession. Much of my underwater photography is captured within a couple of miles of the same area I snorkeled with my father. The undersea world is still full of splendor and there are still new things to see on every dive. It is that obsession with these new and splendid things that I have attempted to share with you through my imagery.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you find something that stirs you.

Mike
