Ralph Pannell is a director of Aqua-Firma and one of the company’s above and below water photographers. Before co-founding the company, he worked for the charity Rainforest Concern - primarily in the Choco-Andes and Amazon regions of Ecuador, Peru and Colombia, as well as Costa Rica and Panama. Ralph’s passion for wildlife and rainforest conservation is part of the company’s ethos; whilst his background as a Diving Instructor and Sailing Yachtmaster is what led to an equal passion for Ocean Giants and coral reefs. Aqua-Firma is a major sponsor in global Whale Shark and Manta Ray research. In Ralph’s Ocean Giants talk, you will be able to visualise the impact these creatures can have on the soul.
