Size Does Matter!
Just in case you’re wondering, the Underwater Sombrero book, when published is anticipated to be a full size, hard cover, dust jacketed publication. We’re planning to include about 200 pages of Sombrero Key beauty and information! The below image shows a good representation of scale. Won’t you please consider one of our funding incentives? It’s not a donation, it’s an advance purchase, and it helps us get our project done!
Another Video Teaser!
As we’ve mentioned previously, we can’t put video in the book, but that’s not stopping us from taking it on our expeditions! We’ll be making video available to our project supporters and also possibly offering a DVD for sale later. In the mean time, here’s another video teaser from one of our 2012 dives:
Our First Share Drive!
Friends, we’ve been at this project for a while and we need some help to get to the next phase of the project. Soon, we hope to start a funding drive, but before we do that, we need to build the audience for our message. We need to let more people know about the project!
Currently we’re at about 77 followers on Twitter and about 70 “likes” on Facebook. So, here’s the plan: We’re going to start small. We want to hit our first milestone on each networking service of 100 likes or follows. To get there, we need supporters of the project to share links to us with their friends. As incentive to help us reach this level we’re giving away a 5×7 print of your choice from the project. That’s the $10 funding incentive we offer as a prize! One each to the 100th follower or “like” and one each to the supporter that referred the 100th follower or like! You’ll also be recognized on the website and in the book as a supporter!
Winners can select from one of the existing images we’ve already captured, or may wait for the project to complete and select one from a wider array later.
If our drive is successful, we’ll do it again later for larger like and follow milestones!
All you have to do is either be the 100th “like” or the 100th follower, OR, be the person that referred them! Share away!
As always, we thank everyone for the support!

October is coming!
Underwater Sombrero fans, we’re getting closer! We’ve got quite a few images ready for addition to the book, but we need more. October is our next scheduled expedition to Sombrero Key and we’re still short of the funding we need to finish the project! Please take a look at our funding incentives page and see if there’s something that catches your eye! We’re not asking for donations (although we won’t turn them down), we’re asking for an advance purchase of a piece of the project. Your purchase helps us get Underwater Sombrero across the finish line!
As always, we thank everyone for the support!
