David Fleetham - David
was born in Vancouver, Canada in 1958. He grew up in
Ontario, Canada just outside of Toronto and in his last
year of high school he learned to scuba dive in a man-made
lake. Soon after he purchased an Ikelite housing and
a Minolta SLR camera and spent three months in the crystal
clear waters of the Caribbean. With his eyes wide open
he returned to land locked Ontario just long enough
to pack his bags and move back to Canada's west coast.
Here David worked in several dive businesses, became
a scuba instructor and continued focusing on underwater
photography (his passion). |
