In Episode 26 we speak with Shavardo Wilson, a native of the Bahamas who has built a rich life in and over the ocean. Shavardo shares his experience growing up with an ocean-focused family and finding his way as boat captain and scuba diver in this beautiful set of islands. We hear stories of sharks, shipwrecks, and finding Shavardo's passion for drones and capturing images of his home waters from above. Shavardo shares his perspective on changes occuring in the Bahamas over his lifetime and what it means to him to be able to enjoy this beautiful place.
Thanks for sharing Shavardo's ocean life with us. You can find pictures and video of Shavardo on his Instagram page and always see some fun stuff on the This Ocean Life Instagram and Facebook pages. We are also on Twitter ranting about anything cool happening in the ocean.
