Indo Ocean Project

I worked with Pedro Medeiros from Astromar Films on this film, contributing underwater and drone footage that I captured during my Research Diver and Divemaster training with the Indo Ocean Project. 

All footage was captured in Nusa Penida, Bali, Indonesia in 2024. 

The video shows the conservation efforts of the IOP team as ​staff and interns share their experiences working in one of Indonesia’s richest marine ecosystems.

Their work has included planting over 20,000 coral fragments, monitoring resident manta rays and sea turtles, and conducting ongoing ecological studies within the Marine Protected Area. These initiatives, bolstered by local community involvement, are paving the way for a sustainable future for our oceans.
