I am honored to have placed 2nd in the 2019 NOAA Sanctuaries “Get Into Your Sanctuary Photo Contest“! NOAA National Marine Sanctuaries are our underwater National Parks and preserve the past as well as protect the future of these unique underwater regions. I can’t remember the last time I entered a photo contest but after my trip to Lake Huron to dive into the past on shipwrecks from the late 1800’s I had an image I thought would be worthy. The image I captured was exceedingly difficult with less than 20-minutes of “bottom time” during a 1-hour dive to 200 feet in 38 degree water, operating a rebreather and trying to take photographs at the same time all with the goal of doing it safely!
