With this transition underway, DOCK will now bring our Flores Earthquake Relief fundraising campaign to a close

We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to the @1000daysfund team for their dedication throughout this response. From delivering essential assistance to affected communities during the emergency phase to continuing their work toward longer term recovery, their presence on the ground has been an important part of this collective effort

And to every DOCK member, dive operator, diver, partner, and friend who contributed or helped share the campaign, thank you for standing with Flores

This fundraiser may be coming to a close, but the recovery continues🪸🤝

Happy World Manta Day!
Today, we saw a beautiful message from Dr. Andrea Marshall - the “Queen of Mantas” - and it brought back a whole chapter of our work.
Andrea’s research in 2009 revealed that what the world had always considered a single manta ray species was actually two: the reef manta ray and the giant oceanic manta ray (in the video). That discovery reshaped how mantas are studied and protected worldwide.
Some years ago we made an independent film about how Indonesia became the world’s first manta ray sanctuary. We filmed with the @marinemegafauna and @indonesianmantaproject / @thriveconservation following the people who fought to make it happen. Indonesia proved that protecting manta rays at a national scale is possible.

Andrea came to our premiere at the International Ocean Film Festival in San Francisco - a moment we still think about with happiness.

Our film “The patterns of the Ocean” is on YouTube, for everyone to watch - link in bio. 🖤

Flores is still recovering from the earthquake that struck on 15 August

DOCK is supporting the relief response in partnership with @1000daysfund (Yayasan Seribu Cita Bangsa), which is already working on the ground across Flores to deliver aid to affected communities

Immediate priorities include shelter, food, and clean water, with relief currently being distributed across Sikka, East Manggarai, and West Manggarai, including dedicated support for pregnant women, mothers, and newborns

If you would like to support, donate or learn more about where the funds are going through the link https://www.every.org/yayasan-seribu-cita-bangsa/f/flores-earthquake-re

Please also help us share this appeal with your guests, partners, colleagues, and wider network

We did finish the first Unlock the Ocean expedition in Komodo and I can only say good things about it. It took a lot of preparation, but it definitely paid off.
Getting a group of like minded divers who care about the ocean and who want to know more about marine life and how the ocean works in general have been an unbelievable experience. This is what I had in mind when I started Biology for Divers, so I want to thank everyone of you for trusting me and joining the trip.
Special thanks as well for the whole @wunderpus_liveaboard team, you are an amazing team that made our trip incredibly easy and enjoyable. Special mention to Sarah @saeriinsta, our Cruise Director, your enthusiasm and knowledge of Komodo definitely made a difference, you run the boat like a rock start! 🙏
If this resonates you and want to be part of it, send me a DM and join the next Unlock the Ocean expedition.

One turtle. Hundreds of opportunities. 🐢✨

As this Hawksbill Sea Turtle rummaged through the branching corals of Komodo, Indonesia, it unknowingly hosted an underwater feast. Every bite, nudge, and movement stirred up hidden morsels, drawing an entourage of fish eager to cash in on the buffet.

Nature’s cleanup crew in action—proof that on the reef, no meal is ever a solo event.

Not an orangutan. Not a crab you’d find on the beach. Definitely one of the ocean’s coolest little oddballs. 🦧🦀

Nature never runs out of surprises.
