On Mike's first expedition in 1971 he led a group of professional divers and film makers to Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands where they dove on American, German and Japanese warships that were sunk by atom bomb testing after WWII. Mike produced a film of his first adventure called "Deadly Fathoms" which featured Rod Serling and won a Silver Medal at the Atlanta International Film Festival. On Mike's second expedition he led a group of mountain climbers and Biblical Scholars up the slopes of Mt. Ararat in Turkey to search for Noah's Ark. His film "Expedition to Noah's Ark" featured acclaimed actor Joseph Cotten as his on-camera host and narrator. Mike's third adventure film took him to the mountains of Old Mexico where he searched for buried treasure.
