NOT JUST A TRIP.
A TRANSFORMATION.

Nine nights in Vava'u with six full days in the water, running from Queen Esther with a licensed Tongan crew. Three departures in 2027 and never more than six guests on any of them. We partner with VEPA, the Vava'u Environmental Protection Association, lending a hand with reef surveys, erosion monitoring and whale monitoring. Photography and video coaching runs the whole trip, in the water and on the boat, with editing sessions and talks in the evenings. 2026 sold out.

Join David for 7 nights on Atauro Island, in partnership with Dive and More. Two full days and one half day in the water with blue whales and sperm whales migrating through the Ombai and Wetar Straits, alongside 11 dives across east, north, south and west coast reef sites plus a night dive. Stay at Dive Timor Lorosae with private shower facilities. A frontier destination with minimal diver traffic, raw and rarely visited. Limited to 7 spots.

Work alongside Traditional Owners on the edge of the Great Barrier Reef. This expedition combines coral reef surveying, tropical ecology, and Indigenous conservation on some of Australia's most remote and biodiverse islands. A rare opportunity to access Country that few outsiders ever see.

Swim with the world's largest fish on the world's largest fringing reef. This expedition pairs whale shark and manta ray encounters with underwater photography masterclasses, freediving training, and reef ecology. Ningaloo is one of the last truly wild reef systems on Earth, and it shows.

An expanded Tonga program in development, 12 days combining daily whale swim encounters with humpback whale research, reef surveying, freediving training, underwater photography, and accredited Certificate II and III pathways through Envirotech Education. Data contributed to Happywhale. This is the deep-dive version: fewer participants, more fieldwork, more time in the water.
