André Musgrove

André Musgrove is an Underwater Photographer & Filmmaker, professional freediver, certified PADI Scuba Diving Instructor, Spearfisherman, Private Dive Guide & Underwater Stuntman born & based in The Bahamas. Growing up diving in The Bahamas gives him invaluable knowledge of the best underwater locations across the country. From shipwrecks to sharks, coral reefs to blue holes, plane wrecks to marine wildlife hot spots, André has dove and shot in a variety of underwater locations across the globe including Indonesia, South Africa and Mexico.

André is best known for his unique style of shooting creative concepts underwater with freedivers/ divers as the subjects, interacting with marine wildlife and exploring the underwater environment. He specializes in shooting while freediving (on breath hold), allowing closer, less invasive encounters and one-of-a-kind interactions with sharks, rays, fish, turtles, dolphins and other marine animals. With over 1,000 logged scuba dives and more than a decade of freediving & spearfishing experience, he has a distinctive edge for capturing a variety of underwater scenarios. He has had the opportunity to work with a variety of international brands including National Geographic, Gopro, Canon, Rolex. AirBNB, WWF, Red Lobster to name a few.

André believes that the human body is a person's greatest asset and takes his fitness life very seriously. This enables him to easily work in the water for hours, following animals and functioning at the highest level in physically demanding situations doing whatever it takes to get the shot. Andre's unique, multitalented skillset includes him being as talented in front of the camera as he is behind. On screen underwater talent, underwater modeling or underwater stunts are a few things Andre uses his unique comfort underwater and freediving skills to be proficient in these roles.
