About me!

My name is Charly Clérisse and I am an Underwater Photographer, Diving Instructor and Ocean lover. Born in France, I grew up in Spain close to the Mediterranean sea: I always was attracted to the ocean but it wasn’t until 2015 I did my first dive, in the Canary Islands. I got hooked on the spot, and since then been living for diving and exploring the seas.

I started Underwater Photography in 2016, just using a GoPro and a light, just to keep memories of the beauty hidden underwater. My journey since then brought me to many places and I have been lucky to witness some truly amazing interactions with some of the world’s biggest and also the smallest creatures.

My goal with my photography is that people fall in love with the underwater world, without even having to step in it, so that all together we can save its inhabitants.
