We protect what we love.
Throughout history, communities have been the bedrock of any initiatives, and changes.
Communities bring people closer together for a common cause, and connect people to an emotion greater than each individual. The Ocean Blue community is no different. Through our community initiatives, we aspire to bring people closer to care for the ocean and marine life, and initiate discussions around topics of interest and concern around the ocean.

The Everything Ocean Podcast
The Everything Ocean podcast dives deep (literally and figuratively) into all things ocean, with a special focus on the vibrant marine world of India and the sub-continent, and occasionally beyond the subcontinent. Find stories worth listening to from pioneers in the field. Hosted on Spotify.
Ocean Photography Awards
The Ocean Photography Awards is an initiative to give underwater photographers (both professional and enthusiasts alike) to showcase their work. The OPA aims to inspire people to create underwater images and develop underwater photographers in the country. The OPA was hosted in 2022 and 2023, and will be back soon.
70% - The Digital Magazine
70% is our bi-monthly digital magazine that brings to light stories from people and the ocean. We explore topics from the subcontinent, the latest ocean news, and of course, photography and filming, as well as a section for reader submitted photography. Designed for a mobile first experience.
Workshops
Want to learn underwater videography and how to bring your underwater videos to life? You’ve come to the right place! Book a one-on-one or a group session to understand color grading and how to make your footage look top-notch for social media and YouTube.
Camera Gear
Passionate or interested in underwater photography, but find the gear too confusing and too expensive to buy? We can help! We offer a Olympus TG6 with housing, or a Sony Alpha 6400 with housing at reasonable prices. Note that gear is only rented for participants who join us for underwater photography workshops.
