There is not much that Anthony Gordon has not witnessed behind the lens of an inspirational 24-year career, notably creating the World’s First Sherpa Rescue Team on Mt Everest, which reduced the death rate of the sherpas by 92% in the following years.
He has worked with an impressive list of world champions, from Valentino Rossi, Colin McRae, Travis Pastrana, Lleyton Hewitt, Nicky Hayden and Nims Purja of the current Netflix Series ‘14 Peaks’.
While all the above and beyond is inspiring; it is his relationship with his Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) that forced him to look beyond what he had always done.
The oceans challenge us, force us to succumb to greater power and explore new possibilities outside of our mind’s everyday expectations. Join Anthony and his team in discovering life below the surface while building on your mentality to drive you toward your goals with a new perspective.

Teaching Courage, One Bubble at a Time
Courage isn’t taught through words, it’s breathed in, one bubble at a time. When we give children the chance to face fear safely, they don’t just overcome it, they grow because of it. And sometimes, it starts with a single breath beneath the surface.Teaching Courage, One Bubble at a Time
In a world where children are increasingly disconnected from nature, overprotected from risk, and overwhelmed by digital noise, this talk offers a bold alternative: immersive, real-world experiences that challenge, inspire, and build character. Scuba diving is the metaphor and the method, a platform for growth, trust, and transformation.
