From the first time we ventured beneath the surface and were overwhelmed by the stunning beauty of the underwater world, it has been our objective to share this beauty with a many people as possible. This urge is not completely altruistic. It is what we like to call "enlightened self interest" --that which serves the self not at the expense of the whole but rather through service to the whole.Within a short period of time we could visibly see a degradation of this beauty and we would like to preserve it for our enjoyment—and yours.

Originally, we chose the medium of film and video, partly as a result of the influence of the "Godfather of the Underwater World" Jacques Cousteau, and also we saw it as the medium by way we could reach the most people the fastest with our message.  We were successful with even our first efforts with our films being viewed by millions of people around the world.

We hope you enjoy these images and find that they enrich you in some way.

Studying the natural world is for me not only fascinating but it gives me Spiritual comfort. It constantly reaffirms my faith in a Creator. How could such an intricate, ingenious wonderment as creation, the natural world, exist without a Creator? Despite my true insignificance, weakness, frailty, fear, decay and death, my existence has meaning in some ultimate sense because I exist within an infinite and eternal scheme of things that conforms perpetually to some kind of design by some creative force. The invisible mystery at the heart of my existence attains cosmic significance via my connection to the invisible mystery at the heart of creation.
