Jett Britnell Keynote A Life in the Depths Moonlighting as a Diving Photojournalist — Jett Britnell Keynote “A Life in the Depths Moonlighting as a Diving Photojournalist.”

I feel deeply honoured to have presented the Lunch Keynote at the Insurance Institute of British Columbia’s Symposium 2025 earlier today. Sharing my photojournalism experience and insights with such an engaged and enthusiastic audience was an absolute pleasure. The positive reception of the keynote from so many truly touched me.

A special thanks to Danielle Bolduc and Winnie Hon for placing your trust in me for this important IIBC annual event. I’m also immensely grateful to the IIBC’s Seminars Committee members for their warm welcome and outstanding coordination that made this experience seamless.

Thank you note from the IIBC Seminars Committee

Lastly, my sincere gratitude goes to the insurance industry professionals whose energizing and uplifting feedback made this experience all the more rewarding. Your kind words fuel the drive to continue my long obedience in the same direction—thank you all!

“Thank you, Jett & Kathryn!!! Another AMAZING piece.”

This comprehensive feature, totalling 9,618 words, edges close to book territory and explores the numerous benefits of being a member of The Explorers Club. Moreover, it shines a tiny spotlight on the Canadian Chapter while honouring the sense of fellowship, camaraderie, and the ties that bind Explorers Club members.

Here’s what some fellow members of The Explorers Club said:

“This isn’t something that I talk about much outside of my close Circle but this is something that is worth sharing for those of you that might be interested. I met the authors on a trip last year and had the pleasure of scuba diving with them in Antarctica. Meeting Jett Britnell and his amazing wife, Kathryn Britnell, became some sort of life-changing event for me. They were both members of a club that I had so much respect for, that I felt Starstruck to be sitting on the same boat with them! (please don’t tell them that I said that!) Anyhow, it was through their guidance and support that I was actually able to become a member of this club. I still feel like a private first class in a room full of generals- but at least I’m in the room! Anyway, if you are interested in more information, there is a link to an article that they wrote about the organization. Becoming a member of The Explorers Club is one of the greatest accomplishments in my adult life.”
