Andrew Martinez
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.
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.
Marine Life 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.
-
Identification: Fish and vegetation identification with pictures, details, habitat descriptions and more
-
Lists: if you’re searching for something specific, the app has a cool c "follow" option for marine life. See what dive sites you might encounter what you’re looking for
-
Dive records: review pictorial records of marine life you have encountered during each dive
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!
