Empowering others to protect our waters.
Get to know us:
I’m Blake.
Freediving Instructor, PADI Divemaster, Artist, and Conservationist. I have a passion to bring people face to face with some of the world’s most misunderstood creatures, because as Steve Irwin said, "If we can teach people about wildlife, they will be touched. Share my wildlife with me. Because humans want to save things that they love.” I believe that the best way to experience the wildness of this planet is by jumping in head first, and I’m here to teach you how to safely explore the few wild places that are left.
I’m Chelsea.
Mermaid, PADI Freediver, yoga instructor, Laughter Yoga teacher, actor, ASL interpreter and lover of life. I believe in the power of the “small things.” A small gesture can change someone’s day, just as a small action can truly change the world.
Have you ever experienced a payback after you’ve done a good deed? When I go diving, I try to do my part by wearing reef-safe sunscreen, or cleaning up any human trash I happen to see under the waves. In return, the ocean has rewarded me time and time again. She has shown me glimpses of majestic animals, brought me beautiful, flawless shells and other treasures, and has given me the greatest feeling of peace within the waves in times of trouble on land.
The Save the Mermaids Podcast is a chance for all of us to discover the small ways we can work together to create a big difference. As Captain Planet said, “The power is yours.” Let’s dive in together!
