Unmatched Education
Our trips go deeper than beautiful imagery. You’ll learn freediving skills, wildlife behavior, ethical ocean practices, and the cultural context behind each destination. You leave with knowledge and confidence that stay with you long after the expedition ends.

At the heart of every expedition is the crew. You’ll be surrounded by kind, down-to-earth, adventure-ready humans who show up with good vibes, respect for the ocean, and a genuine love for wild places.
Featured EXPEDITIONS
Mexican Sardine Run
There are a hundred wildlife tours out there, but nothing compares to the Mexican Sardine Run. Massive bait balls attract marlin, sea lions, whales, and other pelagic predators in a high-energy feeding event that you get to witness up close. This unpredictable adventure is one of the last truly ethical wildlife experiences.
