Water has always been a vital part of my life. As a swimmer, it was my first connection to the world beneath the surface. Now, through kite surfing, surfing, and diving with my boyfriend, my appreciation for the ocean has deepened. Together, we’ve completed our Advanced Open Water Dive certification, and our passion for diving has led us to volunteer in ocean clean-ups and witness firsthand the incredible beauty—and vulnerability—of marine life and coral reefs.
The ocean isn’t just a playground; it’s a home to countless species and a crucial part of the planet’s health. We can’t afford to lose it. That’s why we need to CO-EXIST with our oceans—by reducing pollution, protecting marine ecosystems, and supporting sustainable practices. This contest is more than an opportunity to share my story; it’s a chance to inspire others to take action and ensure a future where the ocean thrives for generations to come.
The sheer mathematical odds of all humans and all living creatures even existing on a planet like this is a miracle. We must honor that gift and that miracle by doing all we can to preserve and protect this beautiful life and these beautiful oceans on our unique planet.
I have been a passionate diver since 1998. The longer I have dived, the more passionate I have become about conservation of our oceans. It was actually a lot of fun and an honor for me to just make the video and communicate how I really feel about ocean conservation for our future.
