Martin learned to dive with his wife, Sylvia, after moving from Staffordshire to Dorset in 1977. He began taking shots underwater a few years later and is now one of the foremost teachers of underwater photography.
Many award-winning UK photographers have at one time been tutored by him. The former senior police officer devotes his time to teaching, writing and escorting specialist underwater photography trips. He recently updated his celebrated book The Underwater Photographer to include digital techniques.
