His "Dumaguete 5X5" from the 2009 Philippines Expedition was very well received. Immediately following the Film Festival, he was lead vocalist for The Wetsuits, the world's first Rock & Roll band comprising only underwater photographers and filmmakers. The "Wet-ettes" backup singers included Women Divers Hall of Famers Nancy McGee, Joan Forsberg, Annie Crawley and Michele Hall.

"It is not the critic that counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better.
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement. And at worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt – 1910
