Beauty has to be seen. Damage has to be felt.

About

Rasaalika Singhania is an underwater storyteller working at the intersection of exploration, conservation, and film. As a rEvo CCR hypoxic trimix diver and underwater documentarian based in the Red Sea, she accesses environments beyond the reach of most cameras, documenting the structure, life, fragility, and resilience of ocean ecosystems.

Her work is shaped by a background in impact investing, where she learnt to translate complex ideas into meaningful narratives. She is drawn to stories that deepen our understanding of the ocean—from life in low-light environments to human impact and conservation efforts—with the aim of creating work that connects and inspires action.

She has conducted dives to a depth of 106m on a rebreather with multiple stages, a DPV, and full camera rig, operating at the edge of technical diving. To her knowledge, this places her dives amongst the deepest dives conducted by a South Asian woman on a rebreather.
