Scuba Hank NYC is the work of a New York City–based scuba diver and underwater cinematographer. This platform showcases underwater encounters, marine life imagery, and original footage filmed across the world’s oceans.

What began as a way to share dives with friends has evolved into an ongoing body of work that documents the beauty and behavior of marine life through authentic visuals and storytelling.

I’ve filmed and photographed marine life across more than twenty destinations — from Tofo Beach, Mozambique and Siladen Island, Indonesia to Dumaguete, Philippines, Laamu Atoll, Maldives, and St. Vincent. Each dive contributes to a growing record of the ocean’s diversity — from macro life on the sand to open-water encounters with pelagic species.

I am also a member of the Big Apple Divers Club.

Here’s a list of dive shops I often patronize in the New York region.

Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.

As a DJ, I spin mostly Soulful and Deep House Music layered with brilliant vocals. Here’s a link to my podcast.
