I am very pleased and honored that Dive Rite has invited me to be one of their diving "Ambassadors." This explanation is taken from the Dive Rite web site: "Dive Rite Ambassadors are a select group of dive enthusiasts who, through their work or explorations, epitomize the Dive Rite ethics of excellence, innovation, determination and professionalism. Our Ambassadors are explorers, instructors, technical diving trainers, scientists, conservationists, photographers and filmmakers from around the world."

For the last year, I've been looking for locations to capture an advertising still for Gates Underwater Products. After diving around the Outer Banks this summer, I realized I had found my location and my subjects.     I took a trip to Hatteras with accomplished underwater photographer Will Allen  www.willallenphoto.com  to shoot a photograph of me nose to nose with a 10 foot Sand Tiger shark. This is what we came back with!!
