Expeditions

All of our expeditions are carried out as a small, two-person team — filming, photographing, and carrying all our own gear. We travel light and stay as long as we can, often several weeks at a time, to get to know a place properly.

We choose our locations carefully, planning around seasons that offer the best chance of clear water, stable conditions, and thriving forests.

Each expedition is different, but the approach stays the same: dive every day, learn the rhythm of the forest, and stay open to what the place reveals. We choose to free-dive as most kelp forests grow in shallow water, so this way of working fits the environment.

Local knowledge shapes everything we do. In every place we’ve been, we’ve been helped by people who know these waters well — divers, scientists, harvesters, elders. They’ve helped us see what we might have missed, and often guided where we put our focus.

We’ve worked this way across six continents. It’s slow, low-impact, and collaborative. We’re not trying to capture everything — just to understand enough to tell a good story, and to tell it with care. In the end, it’s the kelp forests that lead. We just try to keep up, and pay attention.
