Acclaimed underwater photographer David Doubilet estimates he has spent nearly half his life in the sea since taking his first underwater photograph at the age of 12 with a Brownie Hawkeye camera sealed in a bag. Exploring the world's waters, David has photographed in the depths of such places as the southwest Pacific, New Zealand, Canada, Japan, Tasmania, Scotland, the northwest Atlantic, and Antarctica. His work has taken him to freshwater ecosystems such as Botswana's Okavango Delta and Canada's St. Lawrence River. He has photographed stingrays, sponges, and sleeping sharks in the Caribbean as well as shipwrecks in the South Pacific, the Atlantic, and at Pearl Harbor. He has produced more than 70 stories for National Geographic magazine and several books, including Fish Face, The Kingdom of Coral: Australia's Great Barrier Reef, and Water Light Time. David has been awarded the prestigious Explorers Club Lowell Thomas Award and the Lennart Nilsson Award in Photography.
