For years, we’ve taken so much from the ocean, and now we’re seeing the consequences more than ever. We need to coexist to give back and help restore our beautiful oceans.The journey I described in my video, opened my eyes to both the beauty and the fragility of marine life. When I first became a diver, I was amazed by the beauty of the underwater world. But on my dream dive trip, I saw something heartbreaking—a turtle tangled in fishing line and a reef that had lost all its color. This hit me in a way no statistic ever could.
But that experience also led me to hope and more interest in ocean conservation, especially coral reef restoration. I’ve seen how scientists, divers, and local communities are working to restore what’s been lost.
This year, my goal is to take coral restoration courses and do my part to help our oceans.
To me, coexisting with the ocean means respecting it, protecting it, and giving back instead of just taking.
I also believe that education is crucial. If I hadn’t learned so much from documentaries and my dives, would I feel the same deep connection to the ocean? I truly believe that the more we learn, the more we care. That’s why I started my channel, @bubblydiver—to share knowledge about marine life and inspire others to protect it.
