About Piyapat

My name is Piyapat Phakdee. I was born and raised on the coastal area in the south of Thailand.Around 2020 I am interested in open sea diving. So I started to study diving and get certified as a diver in 2020.

When I was certified as a diver, over the course of 3 years, from 2020 to 2022, I traveled all over the south of  Thailand to dive sites in the open sea, both the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea. Along with taking pictures of things that I have seen under the sea and broadcast my diving story to people who haven’t had the chance to see it. I love telling stories through photography. I take all kinds of underwater photography and present them with vibrant colors. I hope when people see my photos. They will appreciate it. They will appreciate it and want to preserve the beauty of the sea.
