The British Society of Underwater Photographers (BSoUP) is a not-for-profit membership organisation that promotes all aspects of underwater photography. Whatever your level of experience or knowledge, we're here to guide you on your journey as an underwater photographer. About BSoUP

BSoUP welcomes photographers of all skill levels with any type of underwater camera system from compact camera to DSLR.

BSoUP's aim is to inspire and encourage underwater photographers and to help develop underwater photography in all aspects. It strives to help its members create great underwater images and to promote excellence in underwater photography.

BSoUP provides expert advice and encouragement through a network of experienced underwater photographers who help newcomers and others to develop through monthly meetings, news and our own magazine.
