Camilla Salghetti, Sea Shepherd and Ocean Conservation

Camilla Salghetti works at the intersection of freediving, scuba diving, underwater media and ocean conservation. Her environmental communication is rooted in first-hand experience in the water rather than detached commentary.

Divers for Sea Shepherd

Camilla is involved with Divers for Sea Shepherd, using her underwater profile to amplify messages about marine protection, responsible diving and the impact of human activity on aquatic ecosystems.

Her conservation work has included communication around ghost nets and marine debris, as well as projects designed to connect divers, freedivers and the wider public with environmental issues that can otherwise remain invisible below the surface.

Why underwater creators matter

Freedivers and scuba divers see parts of the environment that most people never observe directly. Underwater images can therefore do more than document a beautiful encounter: they can make habitat degradation, pollution, entanglement risks and biodiversity visible to a wider audience.

Camilla’s approach is to combine visually engaging footage with a message of responsibility. Wildlife is not treated as a prop. The objective is to tell a story that encourages curiosity without normalising intrusive behaviour around animals.

From the ocean to Lake Iseo

Living on Lake Iseo in northern Italy has also shaped Camilla’s environmental perspective. Freshwater ecosystems face their own pressures, from water quality and litter to boating, safety and the need for better public awareness of what exists beneath the surface.

This local work complements her international marine activity: the underlying idea is the same — the places people swim, dive and travel to are living ecosystems, not just backdrops.

Freediving, scuba and responsible travel

Camilla creates content through both freediving and scuba diving. This makes it possible to tell underwater stories with different techniques, depths and timeframes while keeping conservation at the centre. She is particularly interested in destinations and partners that support responsible marine tourism, education and genuine environmental action.
