Kadu Pinheiro is an underwater photographer and publisher of DIVEDUC and Scuba Diving Magazine. Since 2004, his mission has been to explore the world, especially below the waterline, and reveal new horizons through his images, articles, books, and websites.
Kadu's work has been published in international magazines, such as DYK and Buddy Potapeni; and he has collaborated with Sport Diver, one of the world's largest dive magazines. In Brazil, he was a photographer for Revista Mergulho and created the first diving e-magazine in the country, Underxmag, and contributed to several others diving and tourism publications.
A technical diver, Kadu specializes in cave photography. He has taken part in explorations in Mexico and Belize. His photos and videos have been featured in The New York Times, Yahoo, Daily Mail, and other major global media outlets.
"I try to capture the essence of the landscapes, the objects, the animals and the people I portray. I seek the magic hidden in every scene,” says Kadu. “For me, photography is to eternalize unique moments and perpetuate feelings."

He teaches underwater photography courses and workshops throughout Brazil and around the world, in partnership with Bluewater Photo.
