Martina is a passionate manta ray advocate, ocean educator, and underwater camerawoman. She’s all about raising awareness and spreading knowledge about the gentle giants of the sea so we can better protect them from harm – and people will be able to experience manta rays (online and in real life) for generations to come.
Her love for the mysterious manta rays inspired her to teach other people about marine life and other wonders taking place in our oceans.
Martina has been filming manta rays (and other underwater stories), as well as guiding people who come to swim with the gentle giants in Hawaii for over 25 years. She’s published a children’s book about Notch, the Rescued Dolphin, co-created a series of video meditations with manta rays, and resources for primary school teachers based on Notch’s story.
