He led photographic surveys of the Confederate warship Alabama off the coast of France in 1992 and the 16th-century wreck of the Spanish galleon San Diego in the Philippines in 1993. In 1995, he led an expedition to recover the bell of the U.S. freighter Edmund Fitzgerald and produced the first high-definition TV footage of the deep sea.
