Underwater Photography Talk with Gage Powell – August 2024

Last night, Dive Action had the pleasure of hosting an inspiring talk on underwater photography led by none other than Gage Powell, a well-known content creator and ocean storyteller.

With Cape Town’s diverse marine life and dramatic seascapes as the backdrop, Gage shared insights into the art of capturing the underwater world — from the vibrant reefs of False Bay to the dramatic kelp forests along the Atlantic. His passion for storytelling through imagery lit up the evening, leaving everyone buzzing with ideas and excitement.

The session wasn’t just about photography; it was about perspective. Gage reminded us that every dive offers a new opportunity to tell the ocean’s story — whether through a single image, a short clip, or a full cinematic sequence. His ability to blend technical expertise with creative flair made the talk both accessible and inspiring for divers of all levels.

The good news? This is only the beginning.

We’re excited to announce that Gage Powell will be hosting our upcoming Underwater Photography & Videography Course in partnership with NauticamSA. This will be the first course of the season, offering hands-on training and a chance to learn directly from a pro.

Stay tuned for more details on dates, sign-ups, and course content — and get ready to take your own underwater imagery to the next level.

Until then, keep diving, keep shooting, and keep sharing the beauty of the ocean with the world.
