About the Authors

Scott and Jeanette Johnson have lived in the Marshalls much of their lives. Both have spent several long tours working as contractors on the US army base at Kwajalein Atoll, where they first took up diving and underwater photography in the late '60s and early '70s. Scott, an ex-biologist, also worked more than two years on the staff of the now defunct Mid-Pacific Research Laboratory at Enewetak Atoll, where he focused on the study of nudibranchs. At Kwajalein, they are under the water as much as possible. Jeanette shoots stills, currently with a Nikon D7000 in a Subal housing, and Scott primarily shoots HD video and stills with a Canon G30 in a Light & Motion housing. Many of the older critter shots on this site were taken with Nikonos cameras and various extension tubes and close-up adapters. Scott and Jeanette can be reached at uwkwaj@yahoo.com.
