Welcome to the Living Sea Images website
In December of 2012 we launched this completely re-designed website, to give you better access to the "ocean" of marine imagery available here.
You can easily select pictures of any subject from our online library of almost 9,000 images by just typing what you want in the "Search for..." area at top right.
You can browse our many galleries under the "Portfolio" menu choice. Or look into our Wonders of the Sea
series of books, framed photography for your walls, or our marine conservation work.
"I've seen a lot of changes in Central California's ocean since I began diving here in 1978. I first took a camera underwater in 1982.
Since then I've been using images to communicate the beauty and fragility of our marine life to people who might
otherwise never know about it."
