Meet Rachel Moore

Conservationist, Artist, Explorer

Born and raised by the sea, Rachel discovered her passion for the ocean at an early age. By fifteen, she had earned her Open Water certification, eventually advancing to PADI Divemaster. With over two decades of diving experience, she has developed both technical expertise and a deep appreciation and understanding of marine life, blending curiosity with respect for the natural world.

For the past twelve years, Rachel has lived aboard her sailboat, traveling full-time to capture the ocean and its many stories. An internationally award-winning photographer, her work focuses on conservation storytelling, documenting wildlife, habitats, and the people working to protect them. Through her photography, she aims to highlight the delicate balance of marine ecosystems and the efforts underway to preserve them, creating images that inspire awareness, connection, and action.

As an ambassador for Sony and PADI, Rachel integrates artistry with purpose, crafting visual narratives that are as striking as they are meaningful, inviting audiences to experience the ocean’s beauty while understanding the urgent need to protect it.
