Based in London, UK, Simon Spear is an underwater camera operator and filmmaker who has travelled all over the world to experience the amazing diversity that exists beneath our water planet’s surface. Simon’s biggest fear is that our Seas and Oceans could be in terminal decline, and through his films he hopes to raise awareness of their plight while at the same time show their beauty, majesty and wonder to a wider audience than those lucky enough to experience it first hand.
