Jonathan Ali Khan
Underwater Film Specialist/Director/Producer - Founder of Sharkquest Arabia - Owner & Managing Director/Wild Planet Productions
Jonathan is a topside wildlife & underwater cameraman, editor, producer and director with a strong passion for the natural world. With over 22 years in the Middle East,
Jonathan has worked on a wide range of unique projects in this region and is recognized as an authority on environmental, conservation and diving issues. Best known throughout the region for his diving related filming experience, his primary interest is in marine subjects that led to the creation of the MENA region's only dedicated natural history production company - Wild Planet Productions.
His last TV series called “Arabia’s Cycle of Life” was the first comprehensive TV series on Arabia’s natural world featuring mountains, deserts and seas. The series aired regionally to over 50 million viewers on AlArabiya (MBC Group), Showtime and subsequently was the first regional production to have ever been picked up by Animal Planet featuring Arabia's wildlife..
A firm believer in the need to place scientific research at the core of well balanced content, Jonathan has led many joint filming and scientific expeditions into the field, in some cases, allowing researchers into troubled or difficult areas to access for the first time. Adding a deep concern for the state of our environment and natural world has been at the heart of Jonathan’s motivation and is at the core of many fascinating TV projects.
Wild Planet Productions is registered through the Ras al Khaimah Media Free Zone and is licensed as a full media production company with editing studio facilities based in Dubai.
With over 6000 dives throughout his long diving career, JAK has dived and explored all corners of the Arabian Seas including the Northern Arabian Gulf, the Southern Gulf, the Straits of Hormuz, Gulf of Oman, Arabian Sea, Gulf of Aden, Red Sea and Gulf of Aqaba – in addition to many Indian Ocean, Andaman Sea, Mediterranean and UK locations.
