Maldives Underwater & Drone Photography: Pro Edited Photos

Get professional photos of yourself in the water, edited and ready to take home

A professional underwater and drone photography session in Maldives where you pose in and around the water while a photographer captures edited images and video. Available on six islands (Thulusdhoo, Dhiffushi, Gulhi, Guraidhoo, Kudagiri, and Villingili) with boat transfers arranged from Malé. The session runs about five hours and includes up to 20 edited photos plus a one-minute edited video. You bring your own snorkeling gear or rent watersports equipment separately from the island center.

The experience

The photographer works with you in the water and above it, shooting in different settings: underwater, at the surface, in the sea itself, in a pool when one is available, or during watersports activities you've rented separately. You choose which island suits you. Each has its own boat transfer cost from Malé, ranging from $1 for Villingili to $45 for Kudagiri. If you're already staying on one of the islands, you can meet the photographer there directly and skip the transfer.

Bring your own snorkeling kit or other water gear, or rent what you need from the watersports center on the island. The photographer will work around whatever activities you've booked. The session is guided in English, French, or Arabic. All photos and video are edited before you leave, so you have finished images ready to share instead of raw files to sort through later.

What’s included

• Up to 20 edited photographs of you in various water settings.
• one edited video clip.
• professional underwater photography with a dedicated photographer.
• guidance in English, French, or Arabic.

Is this one for you?Choose the drone option if you want aerial shots of yourself in the water and the landscape around you. Choose underwater and drone photos together if you want the full range from below the surface to the sky above. Either way, you're paying only for the photography itself: snorkeling gear, kayaks, jet skis and other equipment come from the island's watersports center at separate cost, so you rent only what you actually want to use.
