Dive instructor and underwater photographer Jason Washington takes you on your own remarkable journey through the crystal blue waters of the Cayman Islands in his stunning Instagram account. A post shared by Jason Washington (@caymanjason) on Mar 2, 2018 at…
He captures the beauty of sea life – you’ll feel you’re swimming right along with the colorful fish, dolphins and sharks in Washington’s spectacular underwater world.
And there’s plenty of endearing shots of sea turtles, the beloved symbol of the Cayman Islands.
He doesn’t really have a favorite subject matter for his photos.
“My photographic style is very simple. If I can see the beauty with my eye, I simply recreate the image as I see it in camera. It’s really that simple.”
While still in Arkansas, he fell in love with diving, which led him to Ft. Lauderdale and then Grand Cayman. His love of underwater photography started when he began his career as a professional diver.
“Teaching diving is one way I can show others the delicate nature of our underwater marine environment,” he said.
“Unfortunately, I can’t take everyone diving but I can share amazing images, especially now with social media, with the hope that the non-diving community will become more aware of the impact we have as human beings on our precious underwater environment.”
He advocates making positive changes to protect our planet’s ocean resources – changes in what we consume, buying more eco-friendly and sustainable goods and voting for lawmakers who hold the same values.
