David Doubilet is a photographer, author and speaker for National Geographic Partners. He has published over 79 stories since 1971 documenting oceans from the equator to the polar ice.

He was named a Contributing Photographer-in-Residence at the National Geographic, NOGI Fellow, a member of the Royal Photographic Society and International Diving Hall of Fame and founding member of the International League of Conservation Photographers.
