Always active in watersports, Humann left a successful Wichita law practice in 1972 to become captain/owner of the M/V Cayman Diver, the Caribbean鈥檚 first live-aboard dive cruiser.
Beginning in the 1960s, he became increasingly enamored of marine life, diving and, especially, underwater photography.
In 1979, he sold the Cayman Diver to travel, photograph and write full time. In 1982, he published his first identification book, 鈥淩eef Creatures 鈥� Marine Invertebrates.鈥�
To date, he has photographed and authored 17 books, and his photos have been seen in National Geographic, Skin Diver Magazine, Audobon and many other publications.
