Mike Veitch is a professional underwater photographer/videographer originally from Vancouver, BC, Canada. Not long after graduating from the University of British Columbia, Mike embarked on a long exploration of the SE Asia and Australia. Finding that lifestyle to agree with his cold Canadian blood, he made a permanent move to the tropical Pacific in 1999. Mike has a broad library of images of many of the Pacific regions from the Philippines in the west to the Galapagos Islands in the east and many areas in between. Mike’s images and articles have appeared in many international publications and his credits include magazine covers in 3 different continents. Mike has also won various awards for his still photography. He is represented by stock photography agencies in both Canada and the U.S.A. Mike uses a Nikon D70 in an Aquatica housing with a variety of TLC arms.

Currently residing in Yap, Micronesia as the in house photo/video pro at the Manta Ray Bay Hotel, Mike continues to photograph the rich underwater life of the Pacific on an almost daily basis.
