Jason Washington | Grand Cayman Underwater Photographer & Dive Expert

For more than two decades, Jason Washington has been one of the leading figures in the Cayman Islands diving and water sports community. A 2017 International Scuba Diving Hall of Fame honoree, Jason’s work spans private dive operations, ocean conservation leadership, and internationally recognized underwater photography.

Beyond operating premium private dive charters in Grand Cayman, Jason is a globally sought-after underwater photographer whose work has been commissioned and featured by brands and organizations including Cressi, Yema, PADI, Adidas Major League Soccer, Delma Watches, and international media outlets such as CNN. His imagery has appeared in major print and digital publications worldwide, combining cinematic storytelling with technical precision beneath the surface.

Jason is also the founder of CULL — the Cayman United Lionfish League — an initiative responsible for organizing lionfish tournaments across the Cayman Islands. Through CULL, tens of thousands of invasive lionfish have been removed from local reefs, while educating divers and the public about marine conservation. His efforts helped establish lionfish as a sustainable culinary product in Cayman’s restaurant scene, earning the island recognition as a global leader in lionfish awareness and consumption.

In 2011, Jason launched iDive Cayman Islands, an online dive site portal showcasing the underwater beauty of Grand Cayman. Through cinematic video productions and in-depth dive coverage, iDive introduced hundreds of thousands of divers worldwide to Cayman’s walls, wrecks, and reef systems.

His YouTube series, The Way I See It, further expanded his reach by educating divers on underwater photography techniques, ambient light shooting, and marine storytelling.

Today, Jason works with global dive and lifestyle brands, luxury watch manufacturers, media outlets, and ocean-focused campaigns to produce high-impact underwater visual content. His work bridges adventure, conservation, and commercial storytelling — capturing imagery that is both technically refined and emotionally powerful.

Whether leading a private dive charter in Grand Cayman or producing branded underwater campaigns, Jason’s focus remains the same: protect the ocean, tell its story authentically, and create imagery that inspires people to care about the world beneath the surface.
