Maestro of Underwater Photography..!!
I first met Al Giddings back in 1980 when I was a Member of the Board of Directors and a Diver with Project Tektite, a marine research group based in San Francisco.
Al is a master when it comes to underwater photography. While I have not yet viewed this DVD, I'm sure it is up to the usual high standards like everything else Al has photographed. Al has also worked on Hollywood movies (a James Bond I think) and numerous documentaries. He is recognized in the industry as one of the finest underwater photographers. I look forward to seeing this DVD.
