Sebastien Saintignan

Freedive Instructor & Photographer

Sébastien started underwater photography and videography 3 years ago through his Youtube channel SaiCos Sealife Discovery.

He has always been attracted to the under water world, learning to swim at the age of 5 and been an advocate of the Oceans ever since. Starting as a competitive swimmer, he became an oceanographer to protect our oceans through research. Later, he discovered freediving and started to witness the underwater world through his own eyes. It was completely different from his reference books during his studies and at this point realised he wanted to contribute to the protection of the oceans in another way - with Art through photography!

Since then, he has worked to share his underwater adventures and observations of marine life through his Youtube channel, from a simple tiny fish to a freediver playing in a wreck, he captures whatever Nature is presents him.

His goal is to capture high quality underwater pictures of both wildlife and people.  Through his lens, he seeks to inspire others to appreciate and protect the delicate balance of life beneath the waves, promoting the importance of conservation and respect for marine life.

Sebastien will be joining us on some of our trips as a first class freedive instructor.
