BORNEO FROM BELOW
By Aaron “Bertie” Gekoski and Scubazoo
This online series is devoted entirely to
Borneo’s beautiful marine environment,
and is produced by Scubazoo – Southeast
Asia’s leading underwater production
company. Each fun, informative weekly
episode showcases the region’s incredible
underwater inhabitants, as well as
investigating major environmental issues
and featuring photographic tips and
techniques. ADEX presents three inspiring
episodes of this groundbreaking series:
Death by Plastic
In this episode, presenter Aaron “Bertie”
Gekoski investigates the impact that
plastic is having on our underwater
world, such as the infamous Great Pacific
Garbage Patch – a gyre of marine debris
particles in the northern Pacific Ocean.
He heads out on a particularly trashy
dive, meets a scientist who performed an
autopsy on a pilot whale that washed up
with four kilos of trash in its stomach, and
looks at what can be done on an individual
level to combat our current plastic crisis.
Borneo Shark Special
In this extended episode of Borneo from
Below, presenter Aaron “Bertie” Gekoski
jumps into fishy waters to document
the region’s shark tourism industry. He
also looks at one eco dive operator and
sees what they’re doing to help conserve
sharks, and heads to local fish markets
where he finds sad evidence of the shark
fin trade. Ultimately, he suggests some
simple steps we can all follow to help save
shark populations worldwide.
Galloping Extinction: The Last Stand
of the Seahorse
The seahorse is one of the most unique
animals to be found on our reefs, but all
is not well in their underwater stable.
