Yung Yip
Underwater Photographer
Yung Yip is an avid underwater photographer who travels the world looking for unique and pristine dive locations. He participates with a network of fellow travelers to seek out obscure destinations and occasionally participate in exploratory trips to seldom dived locals. Yung is equally content diving wrecks in the Great Lakes or atolls off the Great Barrier Reef, so long as he has a camera in his hand. Certified as a junior diver in 1975, he continues to expand his dive education, just recently completing trimix training in pursuit of deep wreck images in Lake Superior. When not taking pictures underwater, Yung is a research engineer at Imation Corp.
