Introducing Frogwoman Kamile, a captivating and enchanting young woman who carries forward the legacy of a long line of stunning women. With grace and allure, Kamile dons the iconic and form-fitting neoprene rubber wetsuits that have become synonymous with my work. See more of her on the June SCUBA Fantasy update!
Standing a statuesque 172 cm tall and weighing a perfectly balanced 63 kg, with a shoe size of 39, she slips into each wetsuit in my well-stocked dive locker with an ease that is simply poetry in motion.
Keep your eyes peeled! An array of even more stunning Frogwomen are poised to make their debut this year. Stay tuned!
Sporty Frogwoman Electra – SCUBA Reality update, December 2021. Über sportswoman Electra poses for the camera on a shoot we did together for Ocean Reef.
Chatty Frogwoman Suzi
I have been asked so many times for videos of my frogwomen talking whilst geared up. Most of the girls are quite shy and are not at all comfortable talking to the camera. For many of them English is not their first language. However, British Frogwoman Suzi is more than happy to chat about how she feels in all of the delightful rubbery gear she is wearing. With a microphone mounted in her Ocean Reef full face mask, you can hear every breath she takes as she talks about how she likes to be encased in tight shiny rubber.
For those of you who don’t know anything about me, let me tell you of some of the things that inspire and motivate my work.
Code 7… Victim 5 (1964)
I’ve been taking pictures of beautiful Frogwomen since the late 1980s! Originally with a film camera and now a DSLR. Influenced by films from the 1960s and 70s where beautiful women would wear tight form fitting rubber wetsuits, almost always combined with twin-hose regulators and oval dive masks. Not afraid to look sexy in their smooth beavertail wetsuits, with fashionable petal bathing caps protecting their long hair, a vision of these powerful women was burnt brightly into my then young impressionable imagination!
Some of the films that have inspired me: Man’s Favorite Sport, Code 7… Victim 5, James Bond (particularly Thunderball), Fantastic Voyage
As modern diving equipment has evolved it has become much safer and more comfortable to use, but for me at least, it has lost the pure and simple attraction of the vintage gear.
It has long been my goal to revisit those more innocent years, when SCUBA diving was an extraordinary and exciting activity for a young woman, where the diving suits and equipment accentuated the female form. In conclusion, I present to you my life work…
Frogwoman Anne – The AGAnaut – Way back in 1963, the Swedish company AGA launched their first fog free full face dive mask, the AGA mask. Manufactured from natural rubber, dry air flushes the inside of the visor, keeping it fog free. The mask Frogwoman Anne has strapped to her pretty face was originally purchased in 1980. Smoothskin wetsuit, matching hood, rubber gloves, lead weights and a 7 litre dive tank complete her minimalist dive attire. Of the many full face masks I posses, the AGA mask is the one that I think frames Anne’s face the best, showing off her lovely blue eyes to perfection. Watch the full video HERE.
The AGA mask frames Anne’s face beautifully, really highlighting her lovely blue eyes.
Snuggled under an umbrella with Frogwoman Tatjana for an hour was a pleasure and very memorable, but we ultimately had to cancel the shoot.
Rain, rain, rain… And more rain! Obviously Anne was protected under her neoprene rubber skin, but the rain was finding its way between the suit and her naked flesh. She was unbelievably cold. With the wind blowing strongly, she stood her ground and kept performing for the camera.
Only once before had I tried to shoot in such horrible weather. On that occasion I spent the entire time huddled beside Tatjana under a small umbrella, chatting for a hour before calling it a day. This time there would be no cancellation, we were going to shoot whatever the weather! Bravely, Anne slid into her wetsuit, pulled on her neoprene hood and socks, zipper pulled up tight sealing her in. Slipping on her rubber boots and pulling on her rubber gloves, she was ready to shoot.
Masked strapped tightly to her face Anne finally waded into the water. I could see her body tense as the cold lake water leaked into her suit. Knowing she was cold I quickly filmed what we needed. She looked magnificent in the dripping wet neoprene. With her rubber boots still filled with water, Anne ran squelching to the car and jumped in. Turning the heating onto full, she sat shivering for 30 minutes slowly warming up! Then, without any complaint, walked back to the lake and was ready to shoot the next setup. What a pro!
Tell me how you would like to spend a wet afternoon and with which Frogwoman in the comments below.
The Frogwoman – Watch the full length video HERE. What image comes to mind when you think of a Frogwoman? Everyone will have their own idea, but for me ‘The Frogwoman’ can only be Russian beauty Tatjana. Standing at a statuesque 1.82 meters, with her vibrant red hair, she stuns all who meet her dressed in her classic Frogwoman attire! Skin tight rubber wetsuit, dive-knife strapped to her calf. Rubber fins on her feet, weight belt with contrasting yellow weights resting on her hips. Matching yellow and black rubber dive mask and snorkel complete the costume. She knows she looks like a dive goddess and she likes it!

The work day started incredibly early. In order to catch the first morning sun, Tatjana and I arrived at the location at 5am, it was still dark. While I carried all the gear down to the lake, Tatjana slipped into her very tight wetsuit. Shivering in the fresh and dewy morning air, she carefully made her way down the sharp rocks and into position just as the sun rose over the hillside. Bathed in a glorious warm golden light, she slipped her cold feet into a pair of neoprene socks. We briefly paused shooting just to appreciate the beauty of the moment, a moment even more intense for me as just seeing Tatjana standing dressed as she was, curves and bumps glistening in the sunlight was like being in an erotic dream!
On a shoot I am normally fully preoccupied with just making sure I capture all of the footage and photos needed. I don’t get a chance to just stop and admire the beautiful women standing in front of me through anything other than the viewfinder of my camera. Sometimes I wish I could just sit back and watch the girls and not be worrying about whether the shot is in focus or the audio is being recorded!
Once we had wrapped this sequence, it was straight back up to the car so Tatjana could warm up before the next take. The passenger seat in my car has been host to many neoprene covered bottoms over the years!
Just look at this, wow, she’s just washed up on the beach. A gorgeous French Frogwoman, covered from head to toe in her smooth rubbery wetsuit. Exhausted after a long dive she sits in the surf with the sun warming her black neoprene covered skin, as sand forms complex shapes around her legs and flippers. You can see more of her in the September update! But that’s not all! Check out the first part of a two part 4K video featuring Frogwoman Anne. Watch this lovely German Frogwoman as she struggles to get out of her heavy neoprene dry suit!
