Life in the Maldives with mantas and NOT capsizing

What happens when you grow up land locked in the countryside of Worcestor, England and decide to become a marine biologist? AND you make it your life’s work to research and study manta rays EVEN THOUGH you might have a fear of boats capsizing and btw you’ve been living in the Maldives for 4 years where it is a REQUIREMENT to be on a boat all the time? Well.. THIS is what happens!

Meet Jess Haines. We filmed this episode filmed in the Maldives, a badass woman I had the opportunity to scuba dive, drone and watch “do research”.
