About Audrey.

I'm a PADI instructor and conservation photographer based in California, documenting the ocean's beauty and fragility through my lens.

My journey started in the kelp forests of California and has taken me everywhere from the coral reefs of the Philippines to the diverse marine ecosystems of South Africa. Each dive is an opportunity to witness—and share—the incredible life beneath the surface.

THE MISSION

Our oceans are facing unprecedented threats: warming waters, plastic pollution, habitat destruction. But there's hope. Through photography, I capture the moments that remind us what we're fighting for—the symbiotic relationships, the vibrant ecosystems, the raw beauty that exists just beneath the waves.

Every image is an invitation: to see the ocean differently, to understand our connection to it, and to take action to protect it.

WHAT I DO

  • Underwater & conservation photography

  • PADI dive instruction and certification courses

  • Brand collaborations with ocean-conscious companies

  • Educational content about marine ecosystems

  • Print sales supporting conservation efforts

TEACHING & GUIDING

As a PADI instructor, I believe diving is more than a skill—it's a gateway to becoming an ocean advocate. I teach with an emphasis on marine awareness, responsible diving practices, and environmental stewardship. Whether you're getting your first certification or advancing your skills, my goal is to help you develop a deeper connection with the underwater world.

LET'S WORK TOGETHER

I collaborate with conservation organizations, sustainable brands, tourism boards, and media outlets. If you're looking to tell ocean stories that matter, let's connect.
