After 1,000+ Dives, I Can't Look at Fish the Same Way

People see the highlight reel. The crystal-clear dives. The sharks. The rays. The perfect underwater photos. But that's only part of the story. This is what it's actually like diving almost every day as a scuba instructor—the good, the bad, and the occasionally ridiculous. From carrying tanks and helping students, to rough conditions, poor visibility, incredible wildlife, and the strange habit of giving fish completely made-up personalities... this is the side of diving that most people never see. After spending so much time underwater, I've started noticing things I never expected. And now I'm convinced some fish have far more personality than they let on. 📍 Filmed - mostly Cape Town, South Africa 🌊 Featuring: • Cape Town kelp forests • Behind the scenes as a scuba instructor • Student training • Real dive conditions (the beautiful and the murky) • Sharks, rays and some very judgemental fish 🤿 If you love the ocean, scuba diving, marine life or honest behind-the-scenes adventures, I'd love to have you here.
