Scubaverse UWP Winners Gallery: Arnaud Guillebert

Published

on

Each month we give the winner of the Scubaverse Underwater Photography competition the opportunity to show off a little more of their work in a gallery. The December winner was Arnaud Guillebert.


Tell us a little about yourself Arnaud

I have lived for 7 years on a tropical French island, in the Indian Ocean: Mayotte island. The island has one of the biggest lagoons in the world. Gaby Barathieu taught me how to shoot underwater. I like to share my discoveries and photos for my family who live in the countryside to show them the beauty of the marine world. After that, I share it on my social networks for friends. I hope these photos have an impact on people’s opinion, and awareness to protect our planet. I also love to travel and dive with sharks and to discover wrecks.

What equipment do you use?

I use a Nikon D7200 in a Hugyfot Housing and two lens, depending on the subject: a Tokina 10-17mm F3.5-4.5 Fisheye and Nikon Macro lenses 60mm. The Fisheye is my main lens, as it allows me to get really close and still cover a big field of view. For lighting I use two Inon D2000.

Where can our readers see more of your work?

Raising Awareness for Scuttle the Cuttle – A Global First in Tackling Microplastic Pollution

Published

on

Addressing the global crisis of ocean plastic pollution, a new innovation is turning the tide—by placing real-world environmental action in the hands of children. Scuttle the Cuttle, a microplastic-collecting tool designed specifically for young users, has been launched as a practical and inspiring way to involve families in beach cleanups.

Crafted entirely from recycled ocean plastic, Scuttle is a cuttlefish-shaped combination of bucket and sieve. Its engaging design, sustainability credentials, and focus on education make it more than just a toy—it’s a tool for change.

Designed for Impact

Scuttle’s core purpose is to help remove microplastics—plastic particles smaller than 5mm—from beaches. With a mesh size of 2.8mm, Scuttle can collect small plastic fragments and nurdles before they degrade further. This addresses a critical but often overlooked part of the plastic pollution problem.

Built for Young Eco-Heroes

Scuttle is ergonomically designed for both children and adults. Lightweight, durable, and easy to carry, it allows even the youngest users to contribute meaningfully to beach cleanups. Its approachable design turns environmental action into a fun and empowering activity for children and families.

Circular by Design

From production to end-of-life, Scuttle reflects a strong commitment to the circular economy. Made from 100% recycled ocean plastic and fully recyclable, it is manufactured with long-term use in mind. The product not only removes waste from the environment but also repurposes existing waste in its construction, reducing environmental impact across its lifecycle.

Community and Collaboration

In addition to its environmental function, Scuttle is part of a broader movement to build awareness and encourage local partnerships. It supports responsible sourcing, local collaborations, and community-driven conservation efforts.

Scuttle is now available for purchase and is positioned as the first product of its kind focused specifically on the collection of microplastics through kid-friendly, hands-on cleanup.
