About the Fund:
The Michael John Norwood Memorial Research Fund was established in memory of Michael Norwood who died on December 6, 2003 while diving in Palau, Micronesia. He was filming an episode for the History Channel’s Deep Sea Detectives, of which he was the co-host with his friend and colleague, John Chatterton.
Income from the Michael J.

In the three years since its founding, the Michael John Norwood Memorial Research Fund has raised over $57,000, almost $19,000 of which has been raised during the two previous fund-raising events sponsored by the Olympus Dive Center.
