| This site is about Tammy (Tamara) and Mark James. The site was set up to help friends and family keep up information about Saipan and other places we have been. We met in Spokane Washington and got married 2 years later on May 26th 2004 in Cozumel Mexico on the beach at sunset. In April of 2005we moved to the island of Saipan, CNMI. Saipan is a small island that is between the Pacific ocean and the Philippine sea. Here is a site with maps of where Saipan is. This site has some nice pictures and info The CNMI Guide Why Underexposed and why Saipan? I have been a avid scuba diver for years and when Tammy and I met she joined me in my enthusiasm of being exposed to the wonders of what lays under the waves. This is why we call our site UNDEREXPOSED. We chose to move to Saipan because of the climate and the fact that it is in Micronesia which has some of the best scuba diving in the world. We hope this site helps you keep up with this new adventure of ours. In it you will find information and pictures on different parts of our life. Please take some time to look around and let us know what you think. If you have feedback please send it to: Mark & Tammy James 5642 CHRB Saipan, MP 96950 Or e-mail us at: e-mail Tammy e-mail Mark |

there and enjoy the
ocean.

I took a break from
chores today to do a
dive with Dennis and
John. I tried to get some
shots of the little shrimp
that live on the bottom
of Pillow Stars. I also
got a couple of shots of
Wally, he's a Wrasse
that is always with
Pigpen the Turtle.
Interesting how his
color changed from one
shot to the next which
was taken about 15
minutes apart.

Here are some random
island shots from the last
couple of weeks. There is
one of my sweetie at Olei
beach and Bev is here for
her visit so a shot of her

and a floating girl.

I've been on vacation and I
took some time to build a
new entertainment center
for the living room. Most
of my A/V gear is Emotiva
and I built a cabinet
around these pieces trying
to give it a more modern
clean look. I'm happy with
how it turned out.

Here are some pics from
this weekend. We did a
couple of dives and went to
Angus beef night at the PIC.
This is all you can eat and
drink for $25 and they
never stop bringing things
to your table. It great fun
and food but luckily they
only do it every 3-4 months.
Tammy is standing next to
what looks like a nose cone
from some sort of craft that
washed up on shore at one
of the local dive sites. We're
still waiting for an ID on it.
The local kids came over
for a swim on Saturday and
had lots of fun as well.
