Thank you Justine & Michael 💚

The ocean can feel like an alien, unearthly place, because the creatures living in it are so strange and different to what we’re used to seeing on land. But if anything, they are more earthly than we are, given that they occupy the biggest living space on the planet. We’re the weird ones for living out on scraps of land!

And while we have transformed land, in many ways the sea remains wild and free. The sea remains untameable. It is the last great wilderness.

Come dive with us beneath the waves, to catch a glimpse of just how abundant and extraordinary life is.

This film features Helen Walne, Craig Foster, Graham Sim and Kenickie Andrews.
Filmed in South Africa and Saint Helena Island.

Thanks to our friends, Steve and Craig, for sharing some of their underwater footage with us:
