Great Depths - Florida Weekly

Grace Pempek spends long stretches of time far from home—about 6,545 miles from Jupiter, Florida—capturing underwater life in places like the Red Sea. As president of the South Florida Underwater Photography Society (SFUPS), she leads a community of roughly 250 underwater photographers based in Delray Beach but with members worldwide. The article profiles SFUPS member Andy Deitsch, originally from England, who has logged around 100 dives by 2010 and later embraced underwater photography after a Bahamas trip. Deitsch has traveled for workshops and now runs his own trips, with schedules extending through 2029, while also publishing an online newsletter and selling photos to offset costs.
