Serradell David
Growing up in Barcelona by the shores of the Mediterranean gifted me with an eternal love for the sea and all its creatures. For as long as I can remember, I have spent more time underwater than on the surface. I practiced as a veterinarian in Spain, but it was a move to Baja California Sur, Mexico where I had the opportunity to follow my dream of working towards ocean conservation and capture its importance with my camera. My pathway of underwater photography and videography was embedded within me here. My primary intention with photography is to promote messages of marine conservation to help protect the oceans that give life to us all. Through my images, I hope to show unique and important aspects of the underwater world that contribute to a better understanding of the ocean, its role on this planet and the sustainability of all life. I have been honoured to be a Backscatter Video Photo Pro at Nautilus Liveaboards working in the Revillagigedo Archipelago (Socorro Islands), Guadalupe and the Sea of Cortez, three of the most incredible places I have ever seen in my life.

Ciro Dell'Anno
Always passionate about the sea and the creatures that populate it, I try to capture wonderful moments, unique sensations in every frame, that only the sea with its inhabitants, among plays of light and colour, can give. Folco Quilici, great masters of underwater filming, fueled my passion by leading me to purchase my first video camera and from that moment a wonderful scenario opened up for me that allowed me to reconcile my work with my great passion "The Sea" . Strengthened by generational history (the Dell'Anno family has been carrying out underwater activities for 3 generations) and thanks to the experience gained over the years in underwater recovery and surveying activities, in 1990 I decided to attend a course to obtain the qualification as a video operator underwater. This is how this wonderful adventure begins!!! Important international collaborations aimed at the creation of documentaries, television reports and commercials appear in my CV. ciro400 Below is a list of some of my works: • RAI TV • National Geographic • Geo & Geo • Blue Line • Clear Variable • Voyager
