Team - Bryan Blauvelt
Trip Leader
Bryan Blauvelt
Trip leader Bryan is a Texas-based instructor and award-winning photographer with 150+ dives a year worldwide.
Bryan began diving in 1991 at the age of 12, and first picked up a camera shortly thereafter in a high school photography course. It didn’t take long until these two interests merged, but it wasn’t until 20 years, a career as a web developer, and a wife and two sons later that he became more serious about creating underwater images that captivate.
Based outside of Houston, Texas, Bryan now works seasonally as a scuba instructor and trip leader for Texan Scuba. He travels the world in search of mind-blowing reef scenery and creature encounters, from nudibranchs to humpback whales. Bryan gets in 150+ photography dives per year and has participated in many Bluewater workshops over the years, as both a customer and a trip leader.

Testimonials
I think Bryan did a good job presenting workshop materials as well as dealing with issues.

Bryan offers a good balance of being organized and giving direction but not being overly rigid - he handled people issues very smoothly (which is hard).
