Featured Customers | Bailey Standley The Exit Strategy [VIDEO]

Six days before quitting my job, I traveled to Monterey Bay, California to help a diver get certified amongst the kelp forest. I never expected to end up trapped inside a massive swarm of wild sea lions.

 

Exit Strategy

This is Exit Strategy — a cinematic documentary about leaving everything behind for the California coast. Van life. Cold water. No safety net.

Every week I go deeper into the kelp forests, the surge channels, and the reef systems most divers never slow down enough to see — and I bring a camera through it all.
