Bryan Blauvelt

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.
