Mike Ellis
Mike is not a new comer to diving. He got his start back in 1987 with Pacific School of Scuba, Where as a open water diver he assisted with classes and received his NAUI DiveMaster certification.
While working as a DM on the Truk Aggressor in 1992 he meet Jim Church Jim was on assignment to gather marital for his 2nd book on the Nikonos V and Nikon RS systems.
While on dive Jim ask Mike to finish off the roll of film for him. That was all it took, he was hooked. Soon after that he had his own Nikonos V kit, it's very seldom that you will see Mike without a camera in hand. He has been able to dive to places as far off as Australia's Coral Sea, The Hawaii Islands, The Bahamas, Belize, The Cayman Islands, Mexico, The Northeastern Caribbean and most of the southern California Channel islands. Over the last few years he has been working as a DM on a Dive/Research vessel in the Bahamas where he does week long trips to swim with Atlantic spotted Dolphins, Scuba dive the beautiful reefs and do organized shark dives with Tiger, Lemon and reef sharks at places like"Tiger Beach".
His thought through photography would be to help people understand more about how vitally important the oceans are to the earth's survival.
