guest speaker : Uli Kunz

Uli Kunz is a marine biologist, professional diver, photographer, and TV presenter. He has worked on numerous scientific diving expeditions worldwide and is part of the German research diving team Submaris. He is best known for his work in ocean exploration, underwater photography, and public science communication. His enthusiasm for the marine world makes his presentations both educational and highly engaging. 

“Why do I do all of this? Why do I take extremely expensive cameras in a metal box into environments which do not treat electronic components well and due to their darkness, the particles, a lack of contrast, the cold and mud are not particularly well suited to photography?

Because as a marine ambassador, through my photos, slide shows and presentations I can give lot of people insight into a world they do not know, and I can promote the protection of our oceans.

Because I love the ocean.”
