Filmmaker, photographer and Nat Geo Explorer Nova West routinely sails the ocean documenting exciting deep-sea research — from shipwrecks to inquisitive marine creatures — while aboard the E/V Nautilus, a deep-sea exploration vessel led by Nat Geo Explorer at Large Bob Ballard.

The most challenging part of their job? Not the wild landscapes they work in, West shares, but working around people’s perceptions: “While on expedition you never know where you’ll go or who you’ll encounter, which can add an extra layer of considerations as a nonbinary explorer. Regardless, telling the stories of our wild planet always keeps me grounded and focused on ways I can be a role model and open doors for others.”

Currently, West is focused on their filmmaking project, “Out in the Wild” and hopes it’ll mark a new era of holistic wildlife storytelling. “[My project] specifically focuses on sharing the untold stories of queerness in nature, which is an entire spectrum of behaviors and traits that have historically been omitted from wildlife filmmaking.” More about West’s work: http://on.natgeo.org/61855BNOF

Andrew had the opportunity to dive at Catalina Point ahead of this weekends scuba show, and what a dive it was!!

The Giant Kelp is amazing there. Here are a couple of very quick clips from the dives, shot with the Mantis RS360 housing and Insta360 ONE 1" edition camera.
