After a year of planning, In the summer of 2018 our project began.
Thanks to funding from the wonderful Diamonds Resorts and Hotels we were able to spend what turned into 6 amazing weeks filming in the stunningly beautiful Maldives.
Our focus for the whale shark filming was around Dhigurah, a small island in South Ari Atoll.
A truly beautiful location surrounded by whale sharks all year round.
We worked closely with MWSRP (Maldives Whale Shark Research Programme), a great team headed by Basith (Baz) the lead coordinator. We were supported by https://www.tme.mv/ and by the dive company Island Divers ran by Naushad Mohammed.
Without their help and support we could not of made these films happen - really great people to work with.
We captured many eventful and crowded encounters that really highlighted the pressing need for these guidance films.
