Thank You for Our Best Year Ever!


As 2024 comes to a close, we’re reflecting on an unforgettable year filled with underwater film and photography adventures. Swim through memory lane with us as we take a look back at some of our favorite moments AND get the first sneak peek of what's coming up next!

Deep Dive Dubai and The Maldives:


January kicked off with a bang at the world’s largest pool, Deep Dive Dubai! We had the honor of producing SCUBA-assisted photo shoots deep within their stunning sunken city alongside Abbey and world-class freediver Natalia Zharkova. Huge thanks to Jesper for being the ultimate host and showing us everything that makes this cutting-edge dive facility truly the best in the world.

From there, we jetted off to the Maldives for our first underwater modeling workshop of the year. Aboard the incredible Blue Force 1, we spent two unforgettable weeks with our friends at Seasick Productions and Shark Angels, teaching underwater modeling amidst majestic whale sharks, nurse sharks, and manta rays.

While in the Maldives, we captured stunning content both above and below the surface at two luxury resorts:  Anantara Kihava and Avani+ Fares Maldives. Their warm hospitality, breathtaking overwater villas, and an underwater restaurant made this experience nothing short of magical.

So What's Next?


We are already looking forward to an even MORE AMAZING 2025 with trips planned to Roatan, Bali (sold out), and the Red Sea. PLUS, due to the high demand for our Maldives workshops, we have begun a waitlist for our Maldives Workshops happening in April of 2026.
