Overview

In 1976 Mike Seares breathed from an aqualung for the first time.

Those few simple breaths were to change his life forever.

The sheer fantasy of floating weightless over coral reefs, mysterious shipwrecks and wondrous marine life had to be experienced to be believed. It was the ultimate adventure.

And it is an adventure that through exploration and film has taken him to the oceans of the world, revealing sights few are privileged to witness.

From filming World War II battleships a hundred and fifty feet down in the South China Sea, to recovering five hundred year old Lucayan Indian skulls deep inside the Blue Holes of the Bahamas.

From supervising underwater stunts on the glossy horror flick Leviathan, to reassuring Indiana Jones before another hazardous ordeal.

From car chases with Russian scientists in pursuit of an escaped beluga whale, to filming in NASA's Neutral Buoyancy Simulator where astronauts train for complex missions in space.

These and other challenges make up LIGHTS! CAMERA! SUB ACTION!

About the Author

My life has always been about seeking out adventure, whether real or imaginary, and much of this has taken place in, on, or under the water.

My love of diving has allowed me to explore the oceans of the world and also work extensively in the film and TV industry.

This spirit has filtered through into my creative writing, which includes the John McCready thrillers - a smart, fast paced action/adventure series with twists and turns right up to the final pages.

In the real world, LIGHTS! CAMERA! SUB ACTION! takes you behind the scenes of underwater projects in the film and TV industry.

The one thing all the work has in common, though, is a sense of excitement and adventure; whether journeying with a hero battling the odds in a thrilling and dangerous adventure, or diving with marine creatures and exploring shipwrecks in the deep.

The aim, above all, is to entertain, inform and surprise...
