Gregory Sweeney’s first underwater photography experience was when he was 7 years old. With the family camera in a shoebox, a hole for the lens, and the box covered in Clingwrap, he entered the water. Needless to say, it flooded and his parents didn’t take it too well. Despite this minor setback, he persisted, using imagination and building experience, so that he could Share the underwater beauty and its magic with everybody. | |

With a degree in wildlife management and recreation, Gregory has worked for several years as a wildlife biologist/park ranger for the National Park Service in North America. He believes in promoting a healthy attitude toward marine life through education and public awareness. |
