The team
Armel Ruy
Filmmaker/Wildlife director - 31 years old
Armel is only fully pleased with huge flippers to defy gravity and equipped with a camera to immortalize his underwater encounters.
His studies and his experience in biology and animal documentary bring him on board with Lords of the Ocean, in order to share with more people the secrets of sharks and show the "behind-the-scene" of our adventures.
Cyrielle Houard

This solid adventurer is an experienced diver!
She has for exemple several years of experience on the famous bull sharks spot of Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
She also puts her knowledge to good use in assisting Armel with directing and taking images.

Mainly freediver (record at 6 minutes 30 !!), he is also a diver, rescue diver, fisherman and handyman.
