Mike began diving in 1987 while attending Texas A&M University and has been diving ever since. Upon graduation he received his divemaster certification and promptly moved to Grand Cayman to work for Bob Soto's. "I remember being amused by the guests lugging all that photo gear around and wondered how they could enjoy the dive scenery with a camera pasted to their mask"...Twenty years later he finally understood when he rented a point and shoot UW camera and became hooked. He now shoots a Canon 40D/50D in a Sea & Sea housing and resides in Tampa, Fl. Check out his other images at
