This was so beautiful and inspiring, what Titouan and the team is doing is absolutely incredible. So clear to see his heart and soul fully in this, thankful to have legends like him fighting to save the little bits of this world he can. Epic work Sam love these episodes, so incredibly valuable and eye opening for everyone who sees.

Most inspiring story Ive seen. God bless this beautiful man and his vision

This was extraordinary. I loved every second of it. The passion Titouan has for this project was perfectly captured, and paired with your own passion for storytelling and everything wild, this was a hell of a ride. Cannot wait to visit Moorea one day to learn more about coral gardening firsthand.

I had to stand at the side of the road when you showed the images of you diving with the whales and I was crying. Such beauty in this moment.

Crying right now. Beautiful wish i could jus ask for an invitation to come along. I’ll find my way here into these experiences. traveling and showing love to everyone you meet really does bring you these moments and with the goals and mindset of being apart of earth and the nature of it. Love this so much and how much I crave to help coral reefs and SO much

As a free diver and ocean lover myself, this video made me cry. Such a wonderful story, project and video. Thank you for spreading the love for nature and for showing such passionate human beings. If fills my heart with hope for a better world.❤

I honestly didn’t knew that there’s a occupation as coral gardeners and yes it’s one of the coolest job ever, like Titouan mentions; that you completely get the chance to be immersed in what you do. Work is definitely going to play a bigger part in our lives and I’m glad that Titouan had his moment in figuring out what he wanted to do and in return how he’s actually protecting something he loves and something that’s important for every single being in this world. I would say it was definitely worth the wait for this episode. Oh and I literally got goosebumps in the part where you got the chance to swim with whales 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

I could literally feel your joy when you got a chance to swim with the whales! Always love watching your videos and learning a little more about culture I would otherwise would have never known about

Its criminal that you have less than 100k subs! Incredible videos man

I was truly moved by the cinematography, the love you radiate, and the connection Titouan has with his islands and the ocean. Thank you for this beautiful journey.

I think I cried for all 22 minutes… my heart. I mean what an incredible soul this young man has.

That’s deep…I hadn’t planned on crying today gosh dangit! It crazy how environmental catastrophes are so often looked passed. We thrive from the mother land, she does everything for us, feeds us, shelters us, brings our souls back to our true nature which is one with nature and the beautiful beings all around. This really made my heart ache not knowing our oceans are rapidly dying…but we have beautiful humans who are educating and bringing awareness and making a positive change and impact across the world. We have to help our mother land, our oceans, our people. We all thrive together and through each other. Without these beautiful elements of nature, where would we be? What would become of the planet?

I felt the same feeling he felt, to see with bare eyes and bare soul the damage we are causing to this planet... Everytime I collect trash from the beaches my heart just breaks. Because I was the only one collecting that trash nobody seemed to care, I hope that at least one person could feel the same feeling I felt and Titouan felt and they'll be part of the revolution... Let's pollute less and care more!

Bless brother! Thanks for sharing these stories! Keep them coming!!

Sam my brother you deserve so much more recognition! You are a great soul and an absolute inspiration. Thanks for being you I am sure I will work with you in Kauai in the near future! See you soon!

From the beginning till the end blown away. Such a strong story, well told and visually beautiful. Very Inspiring.

Wow Sam what an amazing film! 🏆 🙌🏼The jumping whales shots were incredible and all mixed in with some thoughtful narration and delicate story telling to spread awareness about this vital project! 🌊 Inspiring stuff and one of the best videos I've seen for some time! 👏🏼 Congrats on the awards 🔥

This is so moving and powerful. Thank you for creating this film. "When you love something that much, when you care about something that much -- you're going to do everything for it" "There are people who need the coral reef to live, and those people I want to give them opportunities and meaning in life" 19:30 hit me so hard, I cried with him. I lived on an island in the Caribbean as a solo traveler back in 2021. The people I met there became my family and their struggles as working class community became my own. Watching this video reminds me of the deep connection I had to the ocean, to its way of life, and the people that are part of it. Your video has reminded me what my true destiny is. I've decided to return to the island and the ocean as soon as I can. Thank you.

When you see the changes and damage that affect your home, your happy place, it affects you in a special way. It's not across the world that you can't see, it's your own backyard. I live on the coast of Maine and my home surf beach is slowly changing before my eyes, I grew up on Lake Champlain a huge lake that has completely changed within my lifetime. The Lake is 120 miles long and at its deepest can reach almost 500ft, yet still, it gets so hot at the end of summer the fish population is dying unable to keep up with the rising temperatures and algae growth. Thanks for showing us people who were brave enough to make a change!

A beautifully told story Sam! It’s really important to share these kinds of stories and it’s something we are very passionate about too! Would love to work on something together one day! Keep smashing it ❤

ill have to make that happen ❤

Sam. I'm speechless. Watched it multiple times.. about to "dive" in again. Titouan being this passionate is a blessing, but the cinematic work you've put together is flawless. I was right there with you all. Man.. one day -- I will be there physically too! I immediately sat down to write a bit about it: There’s one living organism you can see from space and that’s the Coral reefs. But perhaps only for a few more decades. Looking to the frontlines of coral conservation are the only living organisms standing in the way of this happening - the Coral Gardeners of Moorea Coral reefs .. you may be thinking: “I don’t even like fish”, and I don’t think Titouan and his Coral Gardeners care. Something that came way before us, and should stay until way after - is dying, because we’ve kept digging up dead dinosaurs to go faster. Too “smart” for our own good.. A bleaching Coral is the most graphic evidence that the climate is changing - that the globe is hurting. Something so naturally colorful and vibrant, housing twenty-five percent of all marine life with a supposedly endless lifespan; is now punching out, rejecting all its color and rolling back its tiny eyes. But before we start to cry about where Nemo is going to raise his family; let’s remember that what mother-earth does best is remind us silly apes about the miracle and beauty of it all. For the sake of you, I and us all - dip below the waves, to that place of weightlessness and silence, broken only by the song of whales and it’ll all make sense. See you there. “We can’t save all the world’s reefs. That’s mother nature's job. What we all can do is; Lend a hand.”

Congrats on the emmys. Well deserved. A beautiful story and an amazing movement by the coral gardeners. I can’t wait to donate and be a part of this movement, even if it’s just in a small way. “It’s on.”

@@CaptainPotter Hi, Sam. As an oceanographer, this moved me a lot. This video has everything that I love, including mangoes :) Dive with whales... something I still dream on, but didn’t happen yet... only saw them far from the boat as the sharks. I got so stoked watching. Also recognizing the passion that other people have for the ocean and nature in general, it’s so good. How they are dedicating themselves to what they believe is inspiring to me. Here in Brazil, we call "farms" the cultivation of bivalves, algae with similar structure they are using, but in large scale. How creative Titouan and the group were, to use aquaculture techniques to preserve and help the environment they love! The project is amazing, and I had not seen something like this with corals before. As a daughter of the sea, I perfectly understand his tears. We live and feel intensely and deeply, whether in career, hobbies, relationships, etc ... we put everything we have in what we believe. Sons of the sea, as the daughters, are sometimes flat, sometimes are a perfect reef coral wave, sometimes just a confusion caused by the storm. Seems like we are silent outside, but ocean can be a very noise place. I hope the storm has passed for you (remember it always do) and that you always keep divinely going. You have high spirituality, keep that a priority always. I hope that one day you show brilliantly here, a little bit of my country and my culture as you have done with others. The images, the places, people and cultures u show are amazing, but it is the soul you put in that makes everything so captivating. Show us more of Hawaii, too. In another life, I was Hawaiian for sure, hahaha. I wish you the best. Samia Laniakea.

I am currently in a week of rest in Tenerife, after another sleepless night I have now discovered this episode. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your work! You have thus kissed something awake in me, which seemed to be dead and I thank you for that! During the whole time tears were running down my face. Sometimes you feel very lonely, it's nice to see that we are still all spread out on earth. Your work and this soul project have just triggered a lot in me! May this project successfully blossom and take over the whole earth and your actions and work, Captain Potter continue to take such roots in the lost minds of people. As with me ♥️✨🌞

Now because of the knowledge I learned from this video, and feeling the pure passion and love from titouan I feel inspired to at least ask more questions and hopefully volunteer somewhere. Much Love to you guys

It really is!

Amazing video! It's so great that you share your love for the ocean. Scuba diving, freediving, surfing... they're such amazing water sports and it's lovely to see you enjoy them, keep going with these great videos. If it doesn't bother you, I'd like to give you a suggestion, a tip for the next videos: basically, you could try inserting some comic and funny stuff... to give everyone a pinch of humor that, in the world of diving, can never be missing. Now, I don't think much of it, but the first thing I could think of in your sport might be peeing in the water. Once, my uncle, who is a scuba diver, peed in his wetsuit during a long diving session and that moment was absolutely funny, he even wrote "I’m peeing" on a waterproof notebook during the session. He has always been telling me that there are 2 types of divers and swimmers: those who pee in the water and those who lie. I know it may sound strange as a request but, in my opinion, these are moments of happiness and carefree that always make everyone smile, that's why it'd be hilarious if you included lots of moments like this, if you and your mates want of course. I hope you like the idea and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Incredible. Inspiring. Beautiful.
