🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️

-THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE-

“The water is warm, there are few sharks, and the clarity of the sea is almost incredible. Right under our keel, sloping from 20 feet to 200 feet, is the most gorgeous coral bank any of us has ever seen, an amazing ensemble of coral varieties and myriad tropical fish,” writes Captain Jacques-Yves Cousteau of Assumption Island, in the Outer Islands of Seychelles, in 1956.

Fifty-nine years later, we’d follow this groundbreaking ocean explorer on our own expedition to Assumption, walking for a moment in the footsteps of the intrepid crew of the Calypso. And we keep exploring, working with local communities, Indigenous Peoples, governments and partners to protect our ocean. We do so by standing on the shoulders of the giants of marine explorers who came before.

Happy 115th birthday, Captain Cousteau. ⛴️
