Andrew J. Martinez is the founder of the Marine Life of the North Atlantic app that most New England divers use for marine life identification. His app (apple/android) includes a giant catalog of marine life one can encounter in New England. The app includes- Identification: Fish and vegetation identification with pictures, details, habitat descriptions and more; Life Lists: if you’re searching for something specific, the app has a very cool capability to "follow" marine life to see what dive sites you might encounter what you’re looking for; Dive records: you can see pictorial records of the marine life you have encountered at each dive site.
Andrew’s work began long before the app. He has dedicated his career to bring divers a dictionary of marine life across New England that first brought his book, Marine Life of the North Atlantic, to us in 1999 that has since morphed into this modernized app. |

Identification App
Marine Life of the North Atlantic The book Marine Life of the North Atlantic has evolved to a mobile app called Marine Life – North Atlantic. Andrew has worked conscientiously to make this application both an easily used digital book as well as a tool for timely communication between participating users. |
Andrew also leads The Undersea Divers Photo Society in Danvers MA through Undersea Divers. The Undersea Divers Photo Society is a group of divers of all skill levels who have a passion for underwater photography. Monthly meetings/ presentations are held that embody a discussion of artistic approach to underwater photography and editing tips.
Topics range from the basics of point and shoot photography to advanced techniques and everything in between. Stop in for a meeting to say hi and meet Andrew! Do you want to learn more about Andrew J. Martinez?
