#10 - Swimming With Sharks | Deep Sea Diver | Working With Indonesian Shark Fisherman

This week I’m joined by Toby, a 24-year-old environmental scientist and deep-sea diver with incredible stories from his adventures around the world. From Indonesia to the Maldives, Toby has lived life below the surface (boom), chasing his passion for the ocean while learning to navigate fear, risk and conservation.


In this conversation we talk about:

  • ​Leaving university to get his dive master qualification in Indonesia
  • Working with shark fishermen and the dangers they face
  • ​Applying to 120 jobs before landing a role in the Maldives
  • The biggest threats to marine ecosystems today
  • Overcoming his fear of water while swimming with sharks
  • ​The balance between tourism and local livelihoods


Be happy.
