Featured Photographer - Todd Aki

Todd Aki was born and raised around the ocean in Hawaii, learned to scuba dive in 1990 and hasn’t stopped since. In 2006 he got his first underwater camera, a Fuji F810, and took his first photo of a fish butt. Now he can’t even dip a toe into a tide pool without taking a picture of the underwater life. Sharks are one of his favourite underwater, subjects although he admits to being addicted nudibranchs as well.

Check out Todd's fantastic portfolio here and if you'd like to see your images featured on DIVE's website, please get in touch and send us a sample of your work.

DIVE Winter 2022 Print Issue

Our Winter 2022 print magazine is out now - and we're keeping it as cool as ever starting with Douglas David Seifert's epic dive journey through God's Pocket, Canada, and Alfie Minnaar's visit to Una Una - an Indonesian Island so pristine that almost nobody knows about it. Leading marine ecologist and expert crustacean taxonomist Peter Davie takes us through the fascinating world of crabs, and Jeremy Brown brings us a stunning photographic display of Bonaire's bioluminescent ostrocods. That's already pretty cool - but if you need more, we have the coolest interview of them all, as we talk to Her Deepness herself, the inestimable Dr Sylvia Earle, about her new book Ocean: A Global Odyssey.
