Kawika Chetron was a highly skilled and adventurous photographer. I say “was” as he disappeared in March while diving the rugged “lost coast” of California near Euraka, miles from land and from anyone else. Following Kawika’s disappearance, a friend of mine directed me to his website and I was amazed by his photos. The marine community has lost a fine photographer and, from the comments I have read about him, a wonderful person. I wonder what incredible images he would have amassed during his diving career, exploring the challenging and rich coast of California. Take a look at Kawika Chetron’s “favorite 15 photos” and I think you will agree he was a gifted lensman.
