Zaki joined the Watermen Project’s expedition to The Bahamas in 2014 to meet the iconic great hammerhead shark. At only 11 years of age he entered the water under guidance of our field team. Soon he was able to freedive to the sandy seafloor and was able to observe the nature of the great hammerhead shark up-close. Ever since, Zaki has been an ambassador for the sea within his community. Today, he’s a member of Georgetown University Varsity Rowing Team.
Young people are the most important resource on planet earth. They are full of enthusiasm, ideals and curiosity. Young people seek adventures and rarely accept that something is impossible, a quality the team of Watermen Project identifies with. We empower the ocean explorers of tomorrow by inviting talented young individuals on our ocean exploration expeditions. Depending on their passions and talents young explorers will be trained in freediving, field research, underwater photography and filming to become young ambassadors. By mentoring these young minds the team passes on their experiences and skills to the next generation of ocean storytellers.
In 2016 and 2017, Inka joined two of the Watermen Project’s shark research expeditions as an aspiring ocean explorer and filmmaker tasked to translate the shark research efforts into engaging media. Despite challenging sea conditions Inka produced a series of Expedition VLogs and captured stunning images of marine life and research efforts. She went on to complete a Masters Degree in Wildlife Filmmaking from UWE Bristol. Without a doubt Inka is an impactful ocean storyteller.

The educational VR content we create brings a true journey of exploration and learning into the classroom. An immersive experience for schools and school-children to help inspire them to become the change-makers needed to resolve the pressing issues facing our oceans. We show children that they are resourceful and that they can, and will make a difference. Through these group VR labs and take-away supportive materials, we can influence young people towards becoming ambassadors for our oceans and engage them through positive reinforcement and hope.
