We consider each other ‘Ohana’; a Hawaiian term meaning “family.” By the end of your journey will will be part of the MAR Ohana.
MAR has been organizing small ocean wildlife expeditions for 12 years. We keep our groups small to minimize our impact on the areas we visit to and to ensure the animals are not stressed or overwhelmed. This also ensures that our guests can maximize time with the animals. Our company is a tight-knit group of conservationists and experts in their fields. All our employees are passionate about wildlife and conservation. We are all marine biologists and ocean aficionados, so we can give you lots of information, and believe me, we have a lot to share.
Our team is a dedicated bunch. Each individual has been carefully selected based on their knowledge, expertise, and dedication to preserving marine life.

Jules is our resident mermaid and trip leader, she can free dive like a boss and we swear she speaks dolphin. Jules studied Oceanography in Hawaii and knows a ton about marine mammals. Her favorite quote pretty much sums her up: “dive down and connect deeply”. You’ll learn so much on a trip with Jules and probably make a friend for life.
Zed is a marine biologist who has dedicated his life to jellyfish, he is literally a walking (err swimming) jellyfish encyclopedia. Not only does he know just about everything you can imagine about our squishy friends but he is also our boat captain. Ask Zed how to tickle a jellyfish if you get the chance, it will be something you will not soon forget
Scarlett has spent the last 8 years of her life honing her skills as a dive instructor, wildlife guide, camerawoman, and shark feeder. She is extremely passionate about the animals she encounters, and her enthusiasm is infectious. She has spent many hours in the field observing marine wildlife – photographing and studying their behavior, trying to discover their true
nature.
August is our trip photographer; his photos are amazing (check out his IG portfolio if you get a chance). Not only does he document the entire trip so you can focus on the marine life but he grew up on a small island in the south pacific and we swear he has webbed feet. August always
wears a smile and his stories are endlessly entertaining

The cute and tiny blue ringed octopus is one of the deadliest animals in the sea. They contain enough poison to kill 26 adults, but don’t worry, they are not harmful unless they are threatened.
