That was the opening line of my 3^rd grade speech in 1961. Little did I realize that "water" in the form of fishing, boating and scuba diving would become an intricate part of my life.

       Hi everyone, my name is Charlie, I'm a PADI Dive Master having been Open-Water Certified since 1988.

            From the first dive trip to Belize in Jan. 1989, I have been interested in sharing with non-divers the beauty and awesome experience of the underwater life. Having been introduced to photography through family experiences, I was looking at the possibility of using those talents to bring the undersea world above water. I was afraid that still photography, while spectacular, might limit my enjoyment of the entire underwater experience. Not wanting to miss anything I found an alternative to the still photography.

          During a dive trip to Cozumel in 1995, I was introduced to underwater videography. On a subsequent trip to Grand Cayman I again found that video photography was the best way to capture the true ebb and flow of the magnificents of the undersea world. I then purchased an underwater video housing, HI-8 camera, lights along with editing equipment to bring back the undersea life.

          All my subsequent trips have been recorded and enjoyed by certified divers and non-divers alike. It was from the encouragement of these people that I decided to open my collection to the internet world. It is my hope that the video tapes will be enjoyed on multiple levels; possibly a new found interest for Scuba diving, entertainment during "cold snowy days", a "video brochure" for future vacation sights,education for children about the fragile sea environment, or simply a "stress release" from busy days.

         The following areas are available at the present time with new locations being added annually: Belize, Cayman Brac, Cozumel, Grand Turks, Roatan, Turks & Caicos. There is also footage from two of the finest "Live-aboard" dive boats operations world-wide, the Peter Hughes fleet and the Aggressor fleet. A cavern dive video from south of Playa del Carman Mexico is available.

        I truly hope that everyone will enjoy the videos and remember, it’s up to each of us to keep the undersea world as pristine as possible so "Mother Earth" may survive.
