Simon Enderby - Underwater Videography & Photography

It would not be possible to offer the range of services, or follow our demanding code of practice, without specialist help in some areas. A business is only as good as it’s people and we have chosen our advisors carefully to enable us to offer the best. Simon Enderby is an expert in underwater photography and videography and an adviser to Borneo Dream.

Known affectionately to his friends and colleagues as “Simple”, Simon graduated from Aberdeen University with a BSc (Hons.) degree in Marine Zoology and was a leading figure in the first scientific research expedition to Pulau Layang Layang, Malaysia in the South China Sea. Having worked with the Sea Mammal Research Unit and British Antarctic Survey in the UK, he returned to Malaysia in 1997 to survey the entire coast and coral reefs of Sabah as well as run a turtle research programme.

Simon is currently Operations Director at Scubazoo, one of the premier underwater photography and videography organisations in the world, has dived extensively on many scientific and environmental assignments and has been involved in many of Scubazoo's broadcast television filming projects. These have led him across Southeast Asia to locations such as Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Maldives and Papua New Guinea.

Simon assisted with the underwater logistics, planning and filming of both UK Survivor series in 2001 and 2002 as well as project managing the Canadian IMAX production, 'Sacred Planet' on Sipadan in 2002. As, underwater cameraman for Channel 5 UK & Animal Planet's "Great Ocean Adventures", with presenter Monty Halls, in both 2005 & 2006, Simon has filmed extensively all over the world and wracked up enough air miles to have flown round it over 6 times!

Over the years Simon has faced many unique and incredible situations whilst filming - wild saltwater crocodiles, South Africa's incredible "Sardine Run", great white sharks, giant octopus, wild dugongs & manatees, feeding dolphins, six gilled sharks, deep water wrecks and some of the worlds remotest sea mounts have all been covered.

Simon has done over 2300 dives and is a qualified PADI & BSAC Assistant Instructor with TDI Nitrox, Extended Range and Rebreather Diver certifications, as well as hard hat and surface supply diving experience. His dream is to re-trace his ancestor's discovery of Enderby Land in Antarctica and compare their lives as old school whalers to his life as a modern day marine biologist / underwater camerman.
