Thomas Pavy graduated with a Msc degree in Marine Ecology and trained Trimix Hypoxic Rebreather Diver. He worked as a conservation project manager for the Sulubaaï Environmental Foundation (SEF) from 2015 to 2018, where he contributed to the implementation of a Marine Protected Area around Pangatalan Island. During this time, he developed a coral restoration technique that was called SRP (Sulu Reef Prosthesis). It is based on artificial reefs that support coral fragments growth. It uses a mechanical locking system to receive coral transplants (without the use of chemicals or plastic). Since 2028, he has been working closely with Andromède Océanologie as a scientific diver to carry out ecosystems surveys and mapping in the mesophotic zone (-50 to -150m). Such studies require technical diving operations in various locations and environments (Philippines, French Polynesia, Corsica). He is also passionate about underwater photography. Thomas uses this skill to illustrate underwater scientific protocols and wildlife in order to create communication material for projects and studies.
