Kabir is a passionate freediver, researcher, conservationist, and videographer. He has spent time in a multitude of ocean ecosystems, from coral reefs to kelp forests, documenting marine life and the impact human beings have on marine habitats. He lives by the saying “Dive everywhere” because one never knows what experience the ocean may throw at you.

Kabir has experience researching coral-zooxanthellae symbiosis as well as microbes involved in oil spill cleanup. As part of an internship at NASA he developed satellite image models of what plastic signals look like in the ocean. With this project he represented the United States at the Our Ocean Youth Leadership Summit in Oslo, Norway in 2019.

He recently graduated from the University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science with degrees in Marine Science and Microbiology. Kabir is an authorized AAUS Scientific Diver, PADI Rescue Diver, and an AIDA Master Freediver. In his free time, he enjoys spearfishing, which he believes to be the most selective and sustainable form of fishing when practiced responsibly.
