ABOUT PHEE SIMPSON
BIOGRAPHY
Hi - I'm Phee: a certified PADI Divemaster and Underwater Videographer.
I began my filmmaking journey with a First-Class BA (Hons) in Filmmaking, where I developed a passion for visual storytelling and camera work. After graduating, I worked as a freelance Camera Trainee before joining ARRI as a Trainee Camera Technician, gaining hands-on experience with industry-leading equipment.
But I felt drawn back to a love developed in my childhood: the ocean.
What started as a dive trip to Southeast Asia soon became a calling. I wasn’t just earning certifications; I was discovering a deeper love for the underwater world and the stories it holds.
Determined to film it responsibly, I returned home, worked two jobs, and then travelled to Dauin, Philippines, where I became a certified PADI Divemaster.
I also had the privilege of training with Elizabeth Lauwerys at Oceans Below, a leading expert in underwater cinematography.
Now, I’m combining my filmmaking background with dive expertise to build a career in underwater storytelling — with the goal of capturing and protecting the incredible ecosystems beneath the surface.
