About Aiden<\/strong><\/h2>\n

My name is Aiden Conners, I\u2019m a recent graduate of Lasalle College\u2019s photography program. I was born and raised in British Columbia, Canada and have lived here all my life. I started diving in 2019 on vacation in Hawaii. I\u2019ve loved the ocean since I was a kid, and instantly felt at home underwater. I returned home to Canada and signed up for a Career Development Program to become a Scuba Instructor through Ocean Quest Dive Centre. I\u2019ve currently been teaching scuba almost 2 years, and have also become a very active technical diver.<\/p>\n

In regard to photography, I\u2019ve currently been shooting underwater for about 2.5 years. I started with a second-hand Sea life micro I found on craigslist, and only upgraded to a professional set up a little over a year ago. I\u2019ve always loved nature photography, but the combination of photography with diving is what really lead me to discover my passion for it. I love the challenge of shooting in such a dynamic environment, especially with the added pressure of managing gas and decompression time. Not only is It exciting, but it\u2019s something I feel I can do forever as there\u2019s always more to learn and more to see. My goal as a photographer is to capture the natural beauty of our planet and share it with those who may not get to experience it themselves.<\/p>\n
