Introduction

7 Mar 2025 - 16 Mar 2025

On St Helena, you will be escorted by pro-UW photographer and marine conservationist Christopher Bartlett.

Christopher has been involved in whale shark conservation since 2009. He has led trips to the Galapagos and the Maldives with Dr Simon Pierce, founder of the Marine Megafauna Foundation, adviser to the IUCN on whale shark conservation status, and regarded by his peers as the leading whale shark researcher in the world. Christopher brings a decade of fascination with these gentle giants to the show. Bigspottyfish (and their friends the bigflappyfish) are very close to our hearts, and the MMF is one of the key conservation organisations that we sponsor each year.
