Adam Schneider is a lifelong resident of New York City. He travels to tropical climates whenever he's able, but still squeezes in the occasional dive off the coast of New Jersey. He started his underwater photography with just a GoPro and now uses the Sony a6500 with macro and wide angle lenses and Ikelite strobes. He is a PADI Assistant Instructor and GUE member. His favorite places to dive are Bonaire, Roatan, Florida, Costa Rica and Mexico. You can follow Adam on Instagram @adnyc and Facebook to see more of his underwater adventures.
