Under The Sound Photography

Your Bio

Hi There,
Thanks for stopping by, come on in and enjoy the underwater wonders of Puget Sound, Wa. Everything here was shot in the these cold northwest waters. Rich with nutrients the sound abounds with a rich variety of sea life.

Please leave me a note so I know you were here and what you thought of the pix

The best way to view these galleries to get the full beauty is to simply click on the slide show button in the upper right of the first page of each directory. It takes only a couple of minutes to view a gallery and you get to see them full screen as they were meant to be seen.

I'm an avid cold water diver and underwater photographer. I didn't start diving until age 60 but making up for it now! My home port is Spanaway Wa. but I spend much of my time diving in and around Port Towsend, WA. and anywhere else in Puget Sound where there are critters to photograph.

I did 12 years in the US Army as a machinist and instructor. Then 22yrs at Boeing as an NC Machinist.

All photos on this site are © Under the Sound Photography. Please ask if you would like to use them.
