Since 2009, Olivier Jude and Sylvie Laurent have been capturing underwater shots aimed at raising awareness across generations about the essential need to consider the protection of our marine environment.

PHOCTOPUS is their Monegasque identity as both are members of the Monegasque Federation of Aquatic Activities (FMAS). Beyond the underwater images of the Principality of Monaco, their exhibitions in Europe, and the numerous awards won in recent international underwater photography championships, allow them to highlight the underwater heritage of all seas and oceans.

Their images of wrecks near the shores of the Principality of Monaco are a perfect illustration of their photographic technique aimed at bearing witness to the indispensable need for the protection of maritime treasures.
