Michael Dudas is a second-generation wreck diver and core member of the D/V Tenacious team with Atlantic Wreck Salvage.

Growing up in a family of pioneering East Coast divers, Michael made his first wreck dive at just 14 and has been exploring the depths ever since. His experience spans legendary sites like the Andrea Doria and lesser-known wrecks along the Northeast coast, as well as expeditions in the Pacific and Caribbean.

Today, Michael continues to push boundaries in deep, cold-water exploration, combining technical diving expertise with a storyteller's passion for maritime history.

Whether documenting new discoveries off Nantucket or revisiting sites first explored by his parents decades ago, he brings history to life through diving, research, and visual media. When not aboard the Tenacious, Michael shares his experiences through presentations and film, inspiring the next generation of divers to explore-and respect-the stories beneath the sea.
