Margaux
A marine biology graduate, professional diver and underwater cameraman, Margaux has built up her experience of diving with sharks all over the world!
She is a naturalist guide and shark seminar leader, specializing in human-shark interactions, and accompanies groups of divers on shark encounters in a dozen different destinations.
She has made over a thousand dives with sharks, including several hundred hours with top predators such as tiger, bull and oceanic sharks, making her one of the most experienced divers of her generation.
She is one of the few divers to have practised tonic immobility on sharks: the first woman in the world to have achieved this in South Africa using the Walter Bernardis technique.
She fights to promote quality ecotourism around sharks by involving local communities.
Anthony
A dive instructor, naturalist and expedition guide with extensive experience at sea, he specializes in creating enriching encounters with the ocean and its most emblematic species. His work is rooted not only in adventure, but also in education and conservation.
Over the years, he has guided divers through some of the world’s most extraordinary marine environments, from the coral reefs of the Maldives to the volcanic seamounts of the Azores and the richly biodiverse waters of the East African coast.
As a multilingual naturalist (French, Italian, English, Spanish), he brings a unique perspective to every dive, helping divers combine the pleasure of exploration with a better understanding of marine life, ocean dynamics and conservation issues.
Its aim is not only to offer safe, unforgettable experiences, but also to develop respect and responsibility for the ocean.

Je pensais venir pour voir des requins. Je suis repartie en ayant appris à les comprendre. Margaux ne vend pas juste une plongée, elle transmet une vraie lecture du comportement animal. Son calme est contagieux et on se sent immédiatement en sécurité. Le workshop de science participative a complètement changé ma façon de plonger.

J’ai rencontré Margaux et Anthony sur une croisière en Égypte. Le courant est très vite bien passé avec eux et leur groupe ! 2 jeunes plongeurs passionnés et friands de partage ! On plonge en apprenant des choses, j’adore !
Ambiance de groupe extraordinaire, on se refait un liveaboard avec eux et +/- le même groupe ! Foncez et on se croisera sûrement quelque part en leur compagnie !

Sono stato in crociera con Anthony e Margaux e stato una esperienza fantastica. Le conferenze e le immersioni sono state davvero fantastiche. Ho imparato un sacco di cose e ci tornerei con loro per i miei prossimi viaggi. Finite le foto e le immersioni per consumare !

Diving with sharks used to be on my bucket list. Diving with Margaux and Anthony turned into a life perspective shift. Their ability to combine marine biology, conservation, and pure emotion is rare. You don’t feel like a tourist , you feel like part of something meaningful.

Un viaje increíble con Margaux y Anthony. Inmersiones enriquecedoras y charlas súper interesantes donde aprendí muchísimo. Grupo reducido con barco privado. Y al final del viaje, un vídeo de recuerdo superprofesional (sobre y bajo el agua). ¡Inmersiones preciosas, información excelente y muchas risas! Volveré.

Je n’étais même pas plongeuse au départ, j’accompagnais mon compagnon. Les conférences quotidiennes et les échanges m’ont passionnée. Margaux rend la science accessible, sans jamais la simplifier à outrance. On sent l’engagement derrière chaque mot.

Identifier un requin sur photo, analyser ses cicatrices, ses spécificités, estimer sa taille, comprendre ses déplacements… Je ne pensais pas que je pouvais contribuer à la recherche en tant que plongeur loisir. Margaux nous donne les outils et la confiance pour le faire sérieusement.
Julien R.
En tant que scientifique, je suis exigeante. Ce que j’ai apprécié, c’est la rigueur dans la collecte de données et le respect du protocole, tout en gardant une atmosphère chaleureuse. Son projet d’identification des requins bleus est impressionnant.
Martine S.
I was honestly nervous before my first shark dive. Anthony and Margaux’s briefing changed everything. They explain not only what to do, but why. Understanding the behavior made the fear disappear.
A memory I’ll never forget!
