What is your favorite saltwater adventure? 

My favorite saltwater adventure was when we found a baby humpback whale sleeping at 10m, we were so lucky to do one hour dive with this beauty!

Is there a memorable moment from being in the ocean? 

Everytime I go back underwater is a memorable moment, it's like going home, to this beautiful world. 

What is your ocean spirit animal? 

Tricky question, a manta and a juvenile boxfish 

If you were stranded on a remote island, what are the three things you'd want with you?

Mask, bikini and Coconut Smuggler's Feelin Nauti Salt Shield!

What does “live wild and stay natural” mean to you? 

To do what you want, even if your lifestyle doesn't fit in the mold back home. The most important is that you are happy. By doing that, you will stay natural.

Do you have any hair tips or tricks for fellow saltwater hedonists? 

I always rinse my hair with fresh water and spritz the Feelin Nauti Salt Shield before going diving.
