Longtime colleague of James Cameron, author Joseph MacInnis accompanied James Cameron on the Aliens of the Deep expeditions in the summer of 2003. Dr. MacInnis spent his early career studying the performance of divers working at extreme depths under the sea. As an undersea explorer he led thirty major expeditions and logged more than 5,000 hours below the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic Oceans.

Dr. MacInnis has written six books and numerous articles for magazines including Scientific American and National Geographic. He lives in Canada.
