Kaiko Nekton

Kaiko Nekton’s parents safeguard one of the largest marine reserves in the world, and it was into this world that Kaiko was born.

However, while Will’s childhood at sea was spent looking to the horizon and wondering what was beyond it, Kaiko spent all her early days with her head underwater, snorkelling and scuba diving alongside the oceanic life under her parent’s protection.

This fascination for everything that lives in the ocean naturally led her to the study of Marine Biology and Conservation and, wanting to keep her head underwater, Kaiko also became a submarine pilot. She now pilots the Aronnax - The Nekton family’s state-of-the-art submarine.

Kaiko is fiercely protective of all sea-life and will do all in her power to defend it.
