Doug Stamm, aquatic biologist/diver, and national award-winning author and underwater photographer has ventured camera in hand to the depths of lakes and oceans around the world, joined Jacques Cousteau's dive team beneath winter ice in the Mississippi River, and traveled to remote rain forests of the Amazon's headwaters in search of new aquatic species. His photographs have illustrated many natural history articles and books. As a diver/biologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Stamm wrote and photographed his first book, Underwater: The Northern Lakes, the first book of its kind featuring underwater freshwater photography. The Springs of Florida is the result of Stamm's most ambitious effort, an ongoing 30-year project to photograph and reveal the underwater world of America's most fascinating freshwater environment - the springs of Florida. He lives with his wife Lucy in Naples, Florida, and together they are regular visitors to the springs. See less
