"My TEDx talk is about the bonding between a 12 year old boy and huge potentially dangerous sharks, and how humans can save the seas and eventually have their own bond with it.
Tom is currently a grade 8 student at Michael Oak Waldorf. Growing up in Cape Town with free time spent at the coast, swimming, snorkeling and diving along the shoreline with his parents, Tom ‘lost his umbilical cord to the ocean” and fell in love with the sea and all it’s animals. Animals and nature have fascinated Tom since a young age. His passion and hobby is diving with his dad in his free time and over weekends. His favourite subject in school is art. He loves music and reading horror stories. When he is not diving, he is playing basketball for his school. "
