Dai Mar Tamarack

Hailing from Savannah, Georgia, Dai Mar was born with a love for warm and balmy climates. For the past handful of years, he has made his home in the Hawaiian Islands, a place that inspires his life-long passion for being active in the outdoors and photographing the many wondrous places, wildlife, and marine life he encounters. 

From his very first job, Dai Mar’s career has been far from ordinary. He can list catching and tagging alligators for research on his resume. His certifications include PADI divemaster, 100 Ton Captain’s license, National Association for Interpretation Certified Interpretive Guide, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Marine Science and Marine Biology. In addition to his work with alligators, he’s guided eco-tours, captained whale watching and snorkel boats, and traveled throughout the world as a professional underwater photographer.

When not thinking of teaching folks about the natural world or photographing underwater creatures, you might find Dai Mar thinking about baseball. Baseball is one of his many interests and, as a volunteer for Baseball4Africa, he traveled to rural Kenya to teach kids to play. While the bonds he built with fellow players made a huge impact, he also has incredible memories of hearing lions roaring at night from his tent.
