How does an underwater image go from almost to unforgettable, and where does editing truly begin?
In Episode 14 of Voices Beneath the Waves, Stephanie Miele, COO of Scuba Diving International, speaks with underwater photography educator Erin Quigley, founder of Go Ask Erin and one of diving’s most trusted mentors in post-processing.
Erin shares her remarkable path from award-winning theater and television costume design to building a global community of underwater photographers. She explains why editing is not cheating, why technology should support creativity instead of intimidate it, and how learning just a few foundational tools can transform your images and your confidence.
The conversation also dives into artificial intelligence in photography, ethical boundaries in contests and publishing, and the story behind Backscatter Exterminator, the breakthrough tool inspired by astrophotography that changed underwater editing.
If you are a diver who wants stronger images, clearer workflow, and more creative confidence, this episode delivers practical insight and honest perspective.
