Professional button presser meets professional fish hunter 🐬

Real speed, showing just how fast rough-toothed dolphins move as they engage in a high-speed race to capture their prey. Their movements are extremely accurate, following the fish to the millimeter using their echolocation. 🔊Sound on to hear the symphony that unfolds underwater

I don’t believe there are perfect photos, but there are perfect moments, and capturing one is a kind of perfection: a suite of elements that makes it special.

This was one of those days. I was speechless watching this juvenile/almost adult humpback play with pilot whales for what felt like 10 minutes but actually lasted 2 hours. Spyhopping, turning upside down, the pilot whales doing the same. And to top it off, s***m whales passed below. Hearing their clicks was out of this world: a whale singing in the distance, pilot whales communicating, and a s***m whale below us.

Some moments can’t be captured in a frame. It’s a feeling. And whenever I look at these photos, I remember how it felt to be watched by nature. A dream day. Thank you, ocean

Forever thankful to Ocean Addict Moorea Culot Anthony Ge for this day

I don’t think this day will ever be topped.

If you’re passionate about wildlife, you’ll love the story behind this shot.

On September 18th, 2025, we were notified that orcas had been spotted not far from shore. That day, most tour operators cancelled their trips because of a 3 m swell and 50 km/h wind gusts.

The conditions were insane, and yet some passionate souls were out there looking for them. And you know what? They found them.

They called us because only a few crazy souls on the island would risk going out in those conditions, and these are exactly the people you want to go on adventures with.

We navigated for about 3 hours through the roughest version of the South Pacific to observe wildlife. When we arrived at the location, they were gone. Our hopes were slim, but not down to zero. Because this is nature. We don’t control it. If it’s meant to be, it will be.

And there we were, just a call away from them.

Another 30 minutes of navigation, their dorsal fins appeared.
Cutting through the massive 3 m waves like a knife through butter. Impressive. Powerful. Unique.

We got in the water twice with them and saw them once.

It was a 10-second moment that still runs through my mind.

The season had been tough, and this felt like such a massive reward 🙏

There’s little I believe in, but when it comes to the ocean, I believe it has the power to teach you lessons and heal your soul.
This was one of those days.

The orcas of French Polynesia are still very little known. We don’t know where they go, what their diet is, manta rays, yes, but what else? They roam the ocean like ghosts and seem to appear out of nowhere.

The people who see them most are fishermen, far offshore. When you hear the stories they have with orcas, you’re left speechless. They are wild, and some of the best adult tales I’ve ever heard come from these encounters.

I’ll never get over that day.

The photos are just a glimpse of what it felt like to be out there, after so many years of looking for wildlife, and finally getting this… No words😶

Over the years I’ve got to learn more about dolphins. When I started underwater photography dolphins were not the subject I was looking for, now I appreciate them more and more, their complexity is mesmerizing. There’s approximately 42 species worldwide and I am looking forward to meeting more. Here you can see a couple species I’ve witness in order:

-Spinner dolphin
-Blainville’s beaked whale
-Pygmy killer whale
-Risso dolphin
-Rough-toothed dolphin
-Bottlenose dolphin
-Orca
-Pilot whale
-Another rough-toothed because they look really cool

On the 12th of September we celebrate World Dolphin Day. Why ? Because on that day in 2021, 1428 Atlantic white-sided dolphins were slaughtered. This event marks the largest single slaughter of cetaceans in history. These animals are very complex as I said, they roam the ocean in pods (family alike), they communicate (like we do), they nurse their youth (like us), they grieve their loss… they are mammals, they keep our oceans healthy, their protection is mandatory.

First time seeing a freshly born short-finned pilot whale. The fetal marks (white stripes pattern) are still there, a little hint that this calf is probably only around a week old. It felt so tiny that its mom seemed like a massive bull next to it.

The pod is growing, and witnessing a new life is always such a special moment. Hearing its little sound was truly moving, will share the sound soon 🥹

Heart shape baby whale to start this month as the season is starting only in a few weeks Moorea Ocean Adventures

As the first whales have been spotted off the island I digged into golden memories made with them over the last 8 years

One of my first tour with and we were gifted beautiful conditions and a curious baby whale

Can’t wait for the start of the season and the multi species interactions

Logging behavior are super rare around the island. That day we were the only boat around and this mom trusted our presence

When we say baby whales can be curious we mean that can literally play cat and mouse with humans (they are at least 2 tonnes) that one was above 4tonnes

Heat run season will start soon, can’t wait to see these giants in full speed mode

This is the Mediterranean Sea: home to s***m whales, dolphins, whales, turtles, sharks, and corals.

In this carousel, you can spot three different s***m whales. Just a few kilometers from the coast, they dive into waters over 1.2 km deep to hunt for squid. At the surface, they often look like floating logs, but don’t be fooled by their calm appearance. The largest individuals can weigh up to 60 tonnes and are capable of breaching their entire bodies out of the water, a breathtaking display of sheer power.

The Mediterranean truly has it all. Yet this fragile balance remains under constant threat from the growing number of massive vessels navigating these waters.

Despite covering less than 1% of the world’s ocean surface, the Mediterranean hosts nearly 10% of known marine species.

Protecting it means protecting one of the richest marine ecosystems on Earth 🌍

This was a moment I’ve been dreaming of since I was 5 years old.

Ever since I discovered the Mandarin fish, I’ve imagined the day I would finally see one with my own eyes. More than 24 years later, that moment finally arrived.

The photos may not be perfect, but the excitement was impossible to hide. Capturing them is no easy task. These tiny, brilliantly colored fish emerge at dusk to perform their daily mating ritual on the reef. Some males even move between reefs in search of a mate. Their size is minuscule, their movements are quick, and the light is fading fast, making photography a real challenge.

What made it even harder is that we cannot use regular dive lights around them. To avoid disturbing their behavior, we relied only on red light, and even then, only sparingly, as any light can disrupt these precious moments. Photographing a fish that small, that fast, in near darkness, is an exercise of patience.

Thanks to Ma Too for helping me make it happen. Every shiver from that fourth dive was worth it.

I’ll be back. Their patterns, colors, and beauty deserve far more than I could capture this time.

Sadly, Mandarin fish are among the first victims when cyclones hit coral reefs. In places where they were once abundant, their numbers have collapsed.

To witness them was a privilege.
To photograph them was an answered prayer. 🙏✨

World Oceans Day 🌊

I barely have words to describe how thankful I am for the love that has grown within me for this blue world that covers more than 70% of our planet.

Over the past decade, I’ve worked on numerous wildlife conservation projects, with coral reefs always at the heart of my focus. Growing up with a fascination for Mediterranean coral fans, working on projects like has been a dream over the last two years, reaching millions of people and helping raise awareness about one of the most important ecosystems for ocean health: coral reefs.

Working with , capturing wild animals in their natural habitat as they glide through the ocean, and learning more every day about a world that remains so mysterious to those of us on land has been a dream come true.

And now, creating my own path as a wildlife photographer while beginning a new chapter as co-founder of .seafaris —a project that has been five years in the making—I can’t wait to share more with you soon.

World Oceans Day reminds me of how much joy, purpose, and inspiration the ocean has brought into my life. It has shaped all of our lives, often without us even realizing it. The ocean helps produce much of the oxygen we breathe, regulates our climate, and supports an incredible diversity of life.

We must protect it.

Happy World Oceans Day 🫶🌊
