About Will Appleyard

I communicate my passion for adventure through my photography, award winning film production and writing. My first book "Discover UK Diving" became a best seller and I have raised awareness of many dive sites through this and my second book "Dorset Dives". Book three, "Wild and Temperate Seas" was published in Autumn 2020.

I am a commissioned photographer for National Geographic Traveller, contributor to DIVER magazine, Oceanographic magazine, BASE magazine, Frank magazine Sub Aqua (France) Let's Dive (Spain) Seven Seas, DIVER-NET, Dure and The Seasonals, to mention few. My photographic work has also been used in national press, adventure industry related media and advertising.

I am an award winning film maker and currently growing my film production client base. Working on several filming and editing projects for adventure sport and travel companies, I balance this with my own documentary film making projects.

Living by the mountains, I'm often on the hill testing & reviewing products for adventure based brands.
