Upcoming Meetings

Mike Boom is an Oakland-based videographer who's shot videos in waters warm and cold. They include Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines; much of the Caribbean; the Red Sea and Indian Ocean; Mexico, Alaska, and -- of course -- California.

Mike worked as the underwater video pro on the liveaboard dive boat Nai’a in Fiji and sells video footage that’s been used in documentaries, commercials and educational videos. He's written articles for dive magazines and websites, and regularly inflicts presentations on dive clubs around the Bay Area like Alacosta DIvers. He's been a frequent presenter with the club and is looking forward to seeing Alacostans again.

Mike's presentation this month is "Faces of the Philippines" put together from 4K footage shot in the Philippines from 2019 to this May. It takes a look at locations around the Philippines ranging from pristine coral reefs to mucky macro to pitch black open water. It looks at the big, the small, the beautiful, the ugly, and the weird. Some of them even have faces!
