If you follow us on social media, you've probably seen that we feature a lot of our creators' content. Andre Musgrove is one of the hardest working ones, as he is almost constantly at sea, shooting incredible content while freediving in the crystal clear blue waters of The Bahamas. Here's his story.

"Born and raised in the Bahamas was no coincidence for me growing up. I would enjoy spending hours on end in the water no matter if it was just a pool or the ocean, it's the place I enjoy being the most. When I was younger, most kids my age would look forward to the weekends to play video games or be in the computer. I'd be longing for the weekends off from school to go spearfishing with my dad at the waters around my island. As I got older I started thinking about what kind of career path I was going to take. I didn't really know what I wanted to do, the only thing I knew for sure is what I love to do. Being an underwater photographer and filmmaker is a great career but also a great responsibility. It's a responsibility to show the true nature of the underwater world, since so many people won't ever get to see it in their lifetime. I feel a lot more comfortable being underwater than I do on land. Above the surface of water everything is noisy, congested and tense, but being underwater it's like an escape from it all. I hope that through my work I can encourage others to learn more about the ocean and to love it as much as I do. To be honest, it's a bit difficult sometimes to differentiate between work and play. When you think you've found your passion, I think it's completely natural to still ask yourself "is this the right decision, is this what I'm supposed to be doing with my life"? I feel like that can be easily answered by asking yourself "is there anything else rather be doing"?
