Teamwork in the Depths

Our story, “Teamwork in the Depths” is published in the current issue of “Alert Diver Magazine.” Last fall, Stephen Frink, editor of Alert Diver asked if we would author a story given the premise that underwater photographers are increasingly sharing the ocean with equally passionate underwater photographers and there may be fierce competition to compete for a photo op. As Kathryn and I had recently been diving in the Philippines with a large group of underwater photo pros, and while the pressure should have been intense to come home with the very best images, our social media posts implied we were working in a climate of camaraderie, respect, and support for getting the best image… all while not stressing the marine environment. Many thanks to Stephen and his talented team at Alert Diver. The consistently high quality of this publication speaks volumes about their teamwork.

Teamwork in the Depths

The feedback we have received from our peers says it all for us:

Tanya Griffin Houppermans

“Bravo, Jett and Kathryn! I love that the diving community will see what happens when we work together and help lift each other up. What a great experience that was in the Philippines!”
Vijay Raman
“Thank you Kathryn and Jett for highlighting such an important topic. Proper photo etiquette is a piece that can really define the overall experience for both yourself and all those with you. With that spirit of camaraderie, teamwork and perhaps mentorship when appropriate, everyone comes away with a much richer experience. I know our time together this past summer was very fulfilling to me and I hope I was able to give back a little as well.”

Marty Snyderman

“I certainly agree with all of this!”

Michael Aw

“Good work bro & Kathryn!”

Allison Vitsky Sallmon

“Great to see this topic covered, and a wonderful article:). Congratulations!”
