Aquatilis Expedition is an epic three-year underwater journey through the unknown, set to explore the world’s most extraordinary creatures.
Alexander Semenov - Head of Aquatilis Expedition - is my son!
Alex’s experienced fascination with underwater life has helped him dream up Aquatilis Expedition. His ability to ground his dreams and turn them into successful projects has inspired a team of professional heavy-weights to join him.
Alex currently works as the Head of the Divers’ team at Moscow University’s White Sea Biological Station, spending his time between Russia’s Far North, Moscow and any other location he deems fit for diving. He is used to diving in unfavourable and often harsh conditions, successfully conducting complex research projects.
His unique talent to see beauty in the darkness underwater has led to multiple collaborations with the Discovery Channel, the BBC, National Geographic and many more. He’s the author of the pictures you see around here. He’s the author of the pictures you see around here. You can have a look at his publications in TIME Magazine, Wired and This Is Colossal. Alex’s secret wish is to grow gills so that he doesn’t have to leave the water and perform cumbersome tasks, such as changing oxygen tanks.
Some awesome things he’s done in the past include: organizing professional workshops all over the world, leading a crowdfunding campaign to renovate the diving center at the White Sea Biological Station, giving talks to all sorts of audiences, ranging from pre-school children to university deans and even country presidents, providing expert scientific and photographic advice at competitions all over the world. Several species and aspects of their behaviour were first identified and photographed by Alex. In short, he’s a pretty cool guy.
