At the age of 12, David Doubilet took his first underwater
photograph off the coast of his native New Jersey
using a Brownie Hawkeye camera sealed in a plastic bag.
Now considered the leading underwater
photographer in the world, whose images are prized as
much for their scientific value as for their aesthetic beauty, Doubilet
has shot over 60 stories
for National Geographic and introduced a generation of
readers to the mysteries and wonders of the deep. Recent assignments have taken him to the northern corner of Botswana, where the Okavango River empties into one of the largest inland deltas on Earth, and to the remote Indonesian
waters of Raja Ampat in the newly established Bird’s Head Seascape, known for having the world’s greatest coral reef biodiversity. Join us for a magical evening as Doubilet takes us into these remote, delicate, and sometimes dangerous underwater edens.
