Andrew Martinez is the founder of the Marine Life of the North Atlantic app that most New England divers use for marine life identification. His app (apple/android) includes a giant catalog of marine life one can encounter in New England. The app includes- Identification: Fish and vegetation identification with pictures, details, habitat descriptions and more; Life Lists: if you’re searching for something specific, the app has a very cool capability to "follow" marine life to see what dive sites you might encounter what you’re looking for; Dive records: you can see pictorial records of the marine life you have encountered at each dive site.
Andrew’s work began long before the app. He has dedicated his career to bring divers a dictionary of marine life across New England that first brought his book, Marine Life of the North Atlantic, to us in 1999 that has since morphed into this modernized app.
