Steve Rosenberg

Steve Rosenberg began diving in the early 1970’s and quickly became enamored with the beauty and excitement to be found beneath the surface of the ocean. While actively engaged in the practice of law in northern California, he began a second career in 1980 as a professional underwater photographer and photojournalist. Since that time he has produced 28 destination guidebooks for international publishers including Lonely Planet, Cruising Guides, Aqua Quest Publications and his new company, Rosenberg eBooks. He has written hundreds of articles for various U.S. and International publications.

Thousands of his images have appeared in books and magazines worldwide, and he has also won more than 250 awards for his imagery in international competitions, including gold medals in the prestigious Hans Hass Photo Competition in Austria and the First World UW Photography Competition held in the Turks and Caicos Islands in 1997. In 1996 Steve received the coveted Scuba Schools International SSI Platinum Pro 5000 certification, awarded to divers with 5000 or more dives. He is an active member of the Society of American Travel Writers SATW and the North American Travel Journalists Association NATJA.
