In 1978, I made one of my checkout dives off the Caribbean island of St. Croix to earn my YMCA certification. Like so many others, I immediately fell in love with the clear waters of the tropics. At that time, I was hoping to become a coral reef ecologist if I didn’t make it as a shark researcher. For the last 25 years, I have been doing both. This presentation highlights the intense research we have been conducting on the sharks of the Caribbean. You will learn how high-tech tagging is now revealing the ecology of tiger, lemon, reef, and other shark species in this incredible ecosystem.

Dr. Greg Skomal is an accomplished marine biologist, photographer, and author. He heads up the Massachusetts Shark Research Program, which studies the life history, ecology, and physiology of sharks. He has written dozens of research papers, and his work has been highlighted in several film and television documentaries for National Geographic, Discovery Channel, and PBS. His most recent books are the Great White Shark Handbook and Chasing Shadows, which debunk the mysteries of the great white shark. Greg is a member of the Explorers Club and the Boston Sea Rovers, and he is the 2016 Diver of the Year.

In 2025, a team from D/V Tenacious announced the discovery of the wreckage of the steam trawler Seiner, a WWI-era fishing vessel that disappeared in the fishing grounds of Georges Bank in January of 1929. Seiner was last heard from on January 18 before she disappeared without further trace. Her entire crew of 21 men went down with the ship.

A team from D/V Tenacious, led by Captains and BSR associates Joe Mazraani, Jennifer Sellitti, and Eric Takakjian, discovered the wreck site in 2022 and returned on July 27 and 28, 2025, to dive the wreckage and confirm the identification. Mazraani died two days later while diving another shipwreck on Georges Bank.

Public announcement of the discovery led to communication between the team and the descendants of Jonathan Hann, a fireman lost aboard Seiner. Hann’s loss had haunted the family for almost 100 years. Both the discovery team and Hann’s family found closure and healing through their meeting and this historic discovery.

Jennifer N. Sellitti is a lawyer and a shipwreck hunter. A criminal defense attorney by profession, she and her partner, Joe Mazraani, spend their spare time operating D/V Tenacious, a vessel that locates, dives, and salvages artifacts from shipwrecks in the North Atlantic. Jennifer is a US Coast Guard–licensed ship captain and a certified diver. She was part of the crew that discovered the wreckage of the 1855 passenger steamship Le Lyonnais, the WWI casualty West Point, the bow of M/S Stockholm, and other shipwrecks. She has served as surface support for expeditions to RMS Lusitania, SS Andrea Doria, and Titanic’s sister ship, HMHS Britannic. Jennifer is an associate member of Boston Sea Rovers and passionate about educating people of all ages about maritime history.

The frozen places of our planet have profound effects on ocean currents which in turn support a stable climate and thereby our very existence. The AMOC approaches the tipping point. “+1.5 C,” arbitrary though it is has been overrun. As the life of the oceans collapses, what will divers of the future inherit? Things much talked about, in practice ignored. How can we consolidate distress into action? My contribution is through the beauty of the Natural World. I will present along with the science, the ineffable beauty of wild things that depend on the ice and of the ice itself.

Although octopuses are renowned for sophisticated behaviors, their reproductive behavior is poorly known and was thought to be rather boring. While filming the Nat Geo production of Secrets of the Octopus at Lizard Island, GBR, we stumbled upon some highly complex and colorful courtship, mating and mate guarding. With repetitive days of diving we discovered a new elaborate “nuptial dance” by males as well as very choosy females. Plenty of fun amazing video.

Mine diving is not for the faint of heart! Swimming through shafts, tunnels, and down railway beds often in dark, icy cold water is truly an adventure.  However, diving in mines is a great way to learn about history, archaeology, technology and people. A particularly specialized form of overhead diving, mine diving requires some additional skills. Sometimes mines are in remote locations, deep underground and require special access. One must be self-sufficient and physically capable of getting to and from the water’s edge in addition to doing the dive. Join us as we share our explorations of mines in Sweden, Hungary and the Northeast US.

David Caldwell and Heather Knowles are the co-founders of Northern Atlantic Dive Expeditions, Inc. They operate their dive charter boat, Gauntlet, with a focus on shipwreck diving and exploration.

in 1898 the sternwheeler City of Ainsworth sank in a storm with the loss of 9 lives in 360ft (110M). It was found in 1990 and dove twice in 1997. This is the story of the tragedy and the latest exploration efforts on it from 2023 to 2025.

Brian is a technical diver from Cranbrook, British Columbia and has spent 36 years exploring shipwrecks across the world. Most of his diving these days is in Kootenay Lake, BC searching for evidence and debris from the sternwheeler days spanning ~1890 – 1956.

The popularity of America’s greatest lake monster, Champ, predates even its more famous cousin in Scotland.  The tale of an underwater dweller haunting Lake Champlain is part of a storied tradition of sea monsters that shares lineage with the tales of Vikings, ancient mariners, New England Sea Captains, and modern influencers.   But Champ makes for more than just a good fireside tale.  A look at the social history of Champ presents the picture of a lake ripe for exploration and provides us with a reminder that adventure and conservation make for boon travel companions.

Kreig Pinkham is the NAUI Technical Instructor and Training Director at Waterfront Diving Center and holds a master’s degree in religion with a focus on comparative mythologies.  Jeannine Russell is the Archeology Office for the Vermont Agency of Transportation and a NAUI Assistant Instructor.  As a married duo they promote the development of diving in Lake Champlain as the principal organizers behind the Waterfront Diving Center’s community events calendar.

Beyond Good Dive Practice, Photo Technique and Image Workflow: A Lifetime’s Worth of Cardinal Rules and Core Concepts for Making the Best U/W Photographs Possible

Tom Easop has spent a lifetime photographing the underwater world. From this experience, he has developed Core Concepts and Cardinal Rules to optimize underwater image making. Using these concepts and rules led to unique, optimized practices, techniques and workflows. In this workshop I will teach you my concepts and rules as well as the resulting “hands-on” skills you can immediately put into practice. Organized chronologically before, during, and after a dive trip the topics include:    What to prioritize in your equipment budget    Preparing your equipment for travel and use    Best practices before and after the dive    Speed light vs. continuous light, tripods, backscatter tactics    White point(s)    Focus tactics – not wasting depth of field    Automatic vs. manual exposure tactics    Recognizing your luck, learning from ‘mistakes’    Making ‘mistakes’, making your own ‘luck’    Combining techniques    Safe capture storage    File types, Pixel Geography, color space & ‘The Color Dimension’    Lightroom vs. Photoshop, and other applications for post-processing    Combining digital tools    HDR, image masking    HRLA USM, sharpening    Non destructive workflow    Cataloguing images & session folders    Plus planning, testing, and practicingThis is by far the most valuable workshop I have ever developed, imparting the most important information I’ve learned through photography and retouching schools, shooting and print making workshops, research, underwater camera building, and most of all – 45 years of experience of underwater photography. It will be time well spent for any underwater photographer or videographer regardless of skill level.

Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Dive Computers, But Were Afraid To Ask – $35

Workshops

9:00AM-12:00PM

Topsfield Room

Dive Computers – nearly all divers carry one, but does everyone really understand how they work and how to properly use them?  In this workshop, Dive Pro Monty Fitzpatrick will walk you through a brief history of the dive computer, and give an overview about how they "know" how much dive time you have left, and what your nitrogen loading is throughout your dive.  We won't dive too deep into the algorithms behind most dive computers, as that's more technical than this workshop intends to go.  But we will cover some of the basics:

• Why to use a computer vs. old-school dive tables
• How to decide which computer is best for the diving you plan to do
• Key features to look for in your computer
• Console-integrated units vs. wrist-mount options
• Air integration – its benefits and limitations
• Popular models that are available at most dive shops
• Understanding the important features and data shown on your computer
• Maintenance and care for your computer

Whether you're a brand new diver or have been salty for years, there's something to be learned about these little devices we've become so accustomed to wearing to dive.  Whether it's understanding how to simply use your computer, or interesting functions you didn't realize your unit included, you'll benefit from attending this workshop.  We will have an extensive Q&A session; feel free to bring your computer.  We may not be able to answer every question about every computer, but we'll do our best to make sure you're more confident and comfortable with yours before you leave.

Behind the complex interface, overwhelming array of tools, and terrifyingly complicated techniques are a few very simple concepts that will absolutely save your bacon and your photos! Shatter the limits of Lightroom and be free!
