I’ve always felt at home in the water. The ocean isn’t just where I go; it’s part of me.
My father was a freediver, a man who didn’t just love the sea—he understood it, respected it. He passed that love to me, my sister, and now my niece.
We spent summers diving off wild, rocky beaches, and spitting in our masks to avoid fog. Funny that we were wearing fins more often than shoes. The ocean was our playground, our teacher, our safe haven.
From the wall of sharks of French Polynesia to the manta cleaning stations of Indonesia, I’ve been blessed to witness the ocean’s wonders up close. Every dive reminds me of its magic—and its fragility. These encounters leave me mesmerized. I am always humbled by the ocean’s power.
There are no words to describe the feeling of watching thousands of sharks cruise against the current, or locking eyes with a century-old sea turtle as it glides by, or seeing manta rays swirl above you like a ballet. Moments like these remind us why protecting the ocean is more than a choice—it’s a responsibility.
Nothing compares to the sound of a healthy coral reef—alive, buzzing, singing. And nothing is more heartbreaking than silence and a bleaching dying coral reef turned to stone. Or the sight of a turtle washed ashore, trapped in a net left behind by careless human action.
I’d rather swim with an old turtle as she glides through crystal waters—than see her tangled in a net left behind by a careless human. Wouldn’t you?
The ocean gives us oxygen. Corals are its rainforests. And yet, we harm them—through pollution, overfishing, and choices that put profit over protection. But we can change that.
Sharing my ocean adventures online has been incredible—not just for the stories, but for the impact they create. I love seeing people fall in love with marine life, learn to coexist with care and respect, and make more sustainable choices when they travel and explore.
Diving reveals a hidden world, but we don’t need to dive to feel connected. The waves, the sight of marine life—on screen or in the wild—remind us that we are all part of this Blue Planet.
There are a million reasons why we, humans, should coexist with our ocean. Science tells us we need the ocean. But beyond the facts, it’s simple: we protect what we love.
From beach cleanups to conservation, every action matters.
The ocean needs us. And the truth is—we need it even more.
