SCUBA

Scuba Diving + Music Videos

Like many people, I had a fear of the ocean, and imagined all sorts of scary things below the surface. But while visiting Egypt in 1996, I was invited on an introductory scuba dive—and discovered I'd been wrong. The ocean was tranquil, timeless, and full of a quiet magic which helped me forge a deep connection with nature.
 

Since then, I’ve been on 700+ dives and recently started bringing a GoPro, then choreographed the footage to songs I love. A huge thanks to the musical artists that inspired these videos, because I heard the song first, imagined it underwater, and filmed with that music in mind. Except for Costa Rica! I hadn't planned for that weather! Just moments after surfacing from the intense dive shown at the end, I heard this track for the first time back in my cabin while trying to calm myself down, and the music scored the experience I'd just had perfectly! I am self-taught, but really enjoy making these, and hope to take proper lessons one day!
 

These music videos were shot with a basic GoPro, edited in iMovie, and filmed using only natural light —very simple tools, but the ocean really doesn’t need much to shine!
