by Shane Gross
Shane spent thousands of hours exploring the world under the waves in The Bahamas, trying to capture her beauty with his camera, as impossible as that is. The result is this book, Bahamas Underwater - a collection of compelling images and personal stories. Over 200 pages and eleven chapters on topics ranging from Sharks and Rays to Marine Mammals to Conch to Science and Conservation, we explore the animals and habitats that make The Bahamas so special.
Shane collaborated with Bahamas Reef Environment Educational Foundation (BREEF) to make this book available in virtually every school in The Bahamas. Sales from this book go directly to BREEF to fund in-water experiences for Bahamian youth to see this beauty for themselves. He believes this type of learning will help lead to an even brighter future for The Bahamas.
Shane works as a marine conservation photojournalist and cares deeply about creating imagery which can advance the welfare of the aquatic realm.
With a unique and well-thought-out vision, he consistently tells visual stories which are both beautiful and powerful in their message.
His works has been awarded at the highest echelons, including in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year. He also resides as an Emerging League Photographer with the International League of Conservation Photographers (iLCP).
