Chinese actor and singer Victor Ma has teamed up with the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) to produce a short film aimed at promoting marine conservation. The film, shot on Fuvahmulah Island, showcases the island’s rich biodiversity and highlights the importance of protecting marine ecosystems.
Victor Ma, a well-known figure in the Chinese entertainment industry with over 16 million followers, used his influence to raise awareness of ocean conservation. In the film, Ma is seen diving alongside sharks, capturing the beauty of the underwater world while underscoring the need for urgent action to preserve marine life.
Fuvahmulah Island, famous for its clear waters and diverse marine species, provided the perfect backdrop for this environmental message. Scenes of Ma participating in beach cleanups during the shoot further emphasised the role of public participation in safeguarding ocean biodiversity.
The project, supported by Maldivian, the national airline, and coordinated by the Tiger Shark Residence, is part of ongoing efforts to promote sustainability and environmental protection in the Maldives. Through initiatives like this, the Maldives continues to play a leading role in marine conservation, aiming to inspire global collective action for the preservation of the world’s oceans.
