The ocean covers 70% of our planet and accounts for 97% of the water on earth. It connects people, provides food and oxygen, regulates our climate by absorbing almost a quarter of the CO2 produced, and is home to a wide variety of species. <\/span><\/p>

But it’s in danger! Between global warming, plastic pollution, overfishing, loss of biodiversity and habitat destruction, the challenges are enormous. <\/span><\/p>

Our ambassadors have decided to get involved with Pure Ocean to raise public awareness of the importance of protecting the ocean and marine biodiversity, and to publicize the foundation’s actions. Their role, both through their reputation and their activities, is to raise awareness, raise visibility and help support scientific projects. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>

Convinced that sport is a means of transmission, their commitment is essential to spreading values and convictions based on respect for nature.<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In his first season of training at depth, he came 3rd in France and reached -80 metres by the end of the season!<\/span><\/p>

Today, he is a member of the French deep-sea freediving team, with a record of -87 meters.<\/strong> Alongside his training and competitions, he works as a scientific diver, marine biologist<\/strong>, underwater cameraman, scuba diver and freediving and diving instructor.<\/span><\/p>

Having become aware of the pollution of the maritime territory during numerous regattas, he decided to work and raise awareness of environmental issues by carrying out numerous actions for Pure Ocean.<\/strong><\/p>

He joined his friend Nicolas Brossay aboard \"Solenn For Pure Ocean\", a JPK 1080.<\/p>

Both skippers have taken part in a number of prestigious regattas under the Pure Ocean banner.

Sofiane has built a unique and deep connection with the ocean.<\/p>

A former submariner, he spent nearly eight years below the surface, accumulating more than 10,000 hours immersed in the silence of the underwater world. An extraordinary experience that shaped his outlook on life and his intimate relationship with the ocean. <\/p>

After this first life, Sofiane discovered freediving, a conscious immersion that reconnects him with the body, breath, and nature. This revelation led him on a true world tour of freediving exploration, encountering both the beauty and the fragility of marine environments. <\/p>

Today, a committed underwater artist, he blends painting, analog photography, and dance, all created entirely while freediving. Through his work, he invites us to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with the ocean, and works alongside Pure Ocean to raise awareness and support the preservation of marine ecosystems through science. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Since the age of 3, Caroline has had a passion for swimming. In 2012 she discovered open-water swimming and was immediately seduced by the challenge of juggling the external elements and the strategy that this discipline requires. <\/p>

As early as 2013, she won the Coupe de France! This victory was only the beginning of a highly successful career. <\/p>

As an athlete who competes in the ocean, Caroline is particularly aware of the importance of protecting this fragile environment, which is essential to life on Earth. Ocean pollution affects her personally, so joining Pure Ocean to share its message and raise public awareness of this cause felt natural. <\/p>

Today, Caroline is preparing for the 2024 Olympic Games, a major milestone in her career! We are delighted to support her on this journey and to count her among our committed ambassadors dedicated to the preservation of the ocean. <\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Amaury remains determined to win a 3rd World Champion title and wants to turn this sporting project into a strong human mission by committing himself to Pure Ocean.<\/p>

Based by the sea and spending more than a third of the year offshore, Thomas is deeply connected to the ocean. By racing under the Pure Ocean colors alongside his partner Almond, he aims to raise awareness of the ocean\u2019s fragility and support research dedicated to its preservation. <\/p>

A Finist\u00e8re native by blood, Marie took her first steps by the ocean and quickly fell in love with the element. She took up sailing and became a top-level sportswoman with her sights set on the Olympic Games.<\/p>

It was with great pride that she represented France at the last Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2021, where she came 11th<\/strong>.<\/p>

With several French Champion titles and top 15 finishes at World Championships, she is one of the best in her category.<\/p>

The sea is a source of well-being and soothing, and Marie wants to get involved in protecting this vital environment. <\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Skipper and sports journalist S\u00e9bastien Destremau is the first person from the Mediterranean to finish the Vend\u00e9e Globe.<\/strong> In 2018, he finished second in the Route du Rhum, reinforcing his status as one of France's great skippers.<\/p>


S\u00e9bastien is a committed sailor who lives the race differently<\/strong>, at his own pace. His race is against the climate emergency and the destruction of biodiversity. His motivation is not to win, but to discover and meet the ocean.<\/strong><\/p>


At the end of 2020, S\u00e9bastien set off on his 2nd Vend\u00e9e Globe aboard his new boat \"merci\", in the Pure Ocean colors, with the aim of sending a meaningful message. Following a technical withdrawal from the event, S\u00e9bastien and \"merci\" continue on their way to the Ocean.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
