Those are some amazing pictures...  Not only the subject matter, but underwater photography that deep is extremely technical and those were well done.  I'm sure that a lot of them were processed quite a bit to enhance contrast and remove grain and otherwise enhance the images, necessary to get that clarity and any color at all when shooting that deep underwater.  He must have a solid processing workflow since they were remarkably consistent.
Everyone I know, goes away, in the end.

it's not as hard as all of that. Even an older Nikonos V with a strobe and a slave, and decent film will turn out a good picture at depth, even in poor lighting.

This is the resort for you:

This is second on my list of places I want to dive, right behind Bikini.

That's one of my bucket list items. May never get there but it has always been on my mind since I learned to dive.

Let's have that 3 turreted japanese tank.

If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

Probably using Photoshop Lightroom...  Lightroom is really good for processing batches of images like that.
