My name is Jessica Alexanderson but my friends call me Scuba Jess. I started diving in the summer of 2014 and fell in love with the underwater world. I've always been a huge Star Trek fan so every dive feels like I'm beaming down on an away mission to seek out new life and civilizations! I feel so lucky to live close to a variety of amazing dive spots here in the Seattle area.
Please enjoy some of my favorite underwater life forms! Photos shot with the Nikon D7200 with the DS51 strobes.

Jessica Alexanderson lives and dives in the Seattle, Washington area and has recently completed her 1,000th dive. After her 100th dive, her friend let her borrow his camera, and she's been a fish ever since. When she's not busy taking photos underwater you can find Jess organizing marine debris clean-ups at her local dive spots. Jess is the author of The Girl Who Recycled 1 Million Cans and now organizes recycling awareness programs across the United States. A huge fan of Star Trek and cold water dives, you can follow Scuba Jess on Instagram or Facebook to see what she's up to.
