EP 30. Andy Mann
A Sea Legacy | In Partnership With Talisker Whisky
In the second episode of our new series in partnership with Talisker Whisky, we spoke to the ever-inspiring Andy Mann. An ocean conservationist, explorer, photographer and musician, Andy has travelled the world with camera in hand, documenting some of the most diverse ocean landscapes and ecosystems. Through his co-founded organisation Sea Legacy, he works tirelessly to secure highly protected marine areas in places like the Dominican Republic and Baja Mexico, raising awareness and showcasing all we can do to serve and secure delicate habitats near collapse in less fortunate parts of our ocean.

We riffed on a life spent underwater and the dedication to his craft that sees him recognised as one of the world’s finest photographers…
From close encounters with Polar Bears to life affirming submersible dives in the deepest parts of the ocean, Andy has carved out a life that puts him at sea for more than 150 days a year. We spoke about that elusive work-life balance, gratitude for the position he finds himself in, and the responsibility to be a storyteller in the modern age of conservation.
“You go down and then you realise how deafeningly alone you are. Probably the only person at the bottom of the ocean that night anywhere on the planet.”
– Andy Mann
