Oktay Calisir
Underwater Photographer, Explorer, Cave Diver…!

Oktay Calisir, born and raised in South Germany, far away from the sea but this could not keep him away from the love for the oceans he feels…
His passion for photography as a hobby, combined with the love for oceans opened a whole new world to him and being self-taught, learning, diving, practising for many years, his efforts paid off and now he is an award-winning underwater photographer.
Having studied CNC Software Programming helped him with the electronic, mechanical and software related aspect of the knowledge for underwater photography…
He pursues his endeavour around the world traveling and diving, refining his own photographic techniques and sharing his knowledge with everyone who is interested to learn more about underwater photography.
Locations he has been diving: Indian Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, South China Sea, Sulu Sea, Andaman Sea, Celebes Sea, Red Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Aegean Sea, Caribbean Sea, Adriatic Sea, Ligurian Sea, Cave Systems and Rivers…
Born with the desire to explore the world’s most remote destination and to transmit the emotions that such places create and leave, especially for those people who were not so fortunate to explore the ocean deep under and the beauty this world has to offer…
The mix of light, technique and angle of the photo is essential for a “magical” shot. These three elements provide results that reveal transparency, depth of field and sharpness to an expert eye.
He is an IANTD full cave diver & PADI open water scuba instructor with a desire to share the amazing underwater world with everyone who shares his passion.
