Most underwater photo sessions are done in shallow reef areas or calm beach entries that are perfect for beginners and ideal for vibrant colors and visibility. If you’re booking a custom session, we may even explore more adventurous locations like sunken ships or open reef walls—always with safety and beauty in mind.

1. 💬Pre-Shoot Preparation

Once you book, we’ll send you everything you need to know—from what to bring to how to prepare. You’ll also have the option to chat with us before the session to go over your vision or ask any questions.

The goal is to make you feel confident and ready. We believe the best underwater photography sessions happen when you feel calm and excited. Our prep chat will guide you  from how to equalize your ears to how to move gracefully underwater—even if it’s your first time.

2.👙What to wear 

You can go minimalist with a swimsuit or wear something flowy for a dreamy effect. Solid colors (like red, white, or blue) tend to pop the most underwater. We’ll help guide you on what looks best for your skin tone and the location
