My life has been defined by a quest to learn about
the past and share it. As a maritime archaeologist who works around
the globe, I've spent decades in the fascinating world of underwater
exploration. I've been privileged to host the popular television
show The Sea Hunters for five years, and work as Executive
Director of the Vancouver Maritime Museum for fifteen. I am now
enjoying new duties - as much more travel - as President of the
Institute of Nautical Archaeology (INA).
Besides my new and continuing commitments, I also work hard to promote
the cause of maritime preservation, teach at universities, give
presentations to various groups worldwide and write books and articles
on my finds and experiences.

What keeps me fired up with a passion for the past are the connections
I make with everyday people whose lives have been irrevocably changed
by their interactions with the sea, including some of history's
greatest disasters. No matter how many times I dive, how many shipwrecks
I see and touch, the awe, the excitement and the thrill of discovery
are always there.
Thank
you for visiting my site and allowing me to share my experiences
with you. Whether you've been following my work or have been recently
introduced to it, I invite you to explore this site to the fullest.
It is my hope that you will enjoy what I have to share…and
learn something along the way.
