Pavol Ivanov

Pavol Ivanov grew up in a landlocked country where the sea and the ocean were only a dream. He grabbed a mask and fins at his first opportunity and has not let go of them since. Keeping with his fascination with the underwater world, and inspired by his idol Jacques de Vos, he trained to become a professional freediver. He swapped his old fully manual 35mm camera, which he got as a present from his father on his 6th birthday, for a digital one in an underwater housing. He now shares his fascination with the ocean and the sea for a living, capturing everyday life in his underwater “office” in Tenerife, Canary Islands with his camera. He lives there with his family.
