The UWACAM Story — How It All Began

We are thrilled to share a special new video from underwater cinematographer Matthias Lebo. In a long-form studio conversation in Switzerland, Matthias sits down with Andi, co-founder of UWACAM, to tell the full founding story of the app — from the very first spark of an idea to the launch on iOS, the arrival of UWACOLOR, and the journey to Android. True to the UWACAM motto: "Capture Ocean Beauty. Effortlessly."
