A 6-Day Ocean Storytelling
Expedition in Cape Town
Dates: January 2026 (TBC)
Ready to dive into the heart of the Cape as a true local? This expedition is for those who want to skip the tours and get straight to the good stuff. It's a stripped-down, authentic experience focused on two simple pleasures: a world-class dive in the Cape's pristine waters and conservation storytelling. It's a journey that will not only take you beneath the waves of Cape Town's incredible ecosystems, but it will also teach you how to tell a story that truly matters. Join me for a wildly unique week where we dive with purpose and share the silent stories of the sea.
Dive Every Day
From the kelp forest to a historic shipwreck, you'll dive into diverse marine ecosystems every single day.
Master Your Story
Learn powerful editing and storytelling skills in evening workshops, transforming your footage into a compelling narrative.
Conservation In Action
Meet incredible conservationists and visit NGOs to see firsthand how we can
protect the ocean.
Ocean to Plate
Connect with the land and the sea through a unique foraging experience and a ocean to plate dining experience.
Your Journey
At the very tip of Africa, a powerful story unfolds beneath the surface. This is where two great ocean currents collide: the warm, life-giving Agulhas from the east meets the deep, nutrient-rich chill of the Benguela from the south.This spectacular convergence creates a truly unique and abundant marine ecosystem, a vibrant home to some of our most beloved landscapes and creatures.
Daily Mentoring
This expedition isn't just about the places we go—it's about how we see them. Every day, you'll have dedicated time for camera practice and one-on-one mentoring. I’ll be there to help you move beyond simply taking a picture and start crafting a narrative. We'll focus on everything from technical skills and shot composition to finding the emotional heart of a moment, ensuring that every image you capture tells a powerful story that can inspire action and connect others to the ocean you now love.
Small Groups,
Big Connection
This isn't a crowded tour; it's an intimate expedition with a maximum of eight fellow ocean lovers. Over shared meals, sun-soaked dives, and quiet moments of reflection, you’ll find your tribe. These are the adventurous, like-minded souls who believe in purpose-driven travel, and together, you’ll forge connections as deep as the waters you explore.
Share Stories
Over Meals
Each day, our journey continues beyond the water. You'll meet some of the most inspiring people who call Cape Town home—local conservationists, marine biologists, and other ocean legends who will join us for meals, bringing their rich experience of this unique cultural and ecological landscape. From a sunset dinner on the beach to a cozy meal at the villa, these are not just conversations; they're an exchange of stories that will deepen your connection to the Cape.
All Levels,
One Journey
No matter your experience, this trip is for you. Whether you're a seasoned diver or you're "just a snorkeler" who wants to see the world differently, our small groups ensure a personal and supportive experience. Our focus is on the story you want to tell and the connection you want to make, so every activity offers opportunities to learn and grow, from absolute beginners to expert free divers. The ocean welcomes all, and so do we.
