Summary
Jill is freaking awesome and was so fun to talk to! She's been cave diving in some of the most incredible places on earth.
We talk about her explorations, the future of 3D mapping and AR, finding new animals hidden in underwater caves, the dangers of cave diving, and so much more!
Here's what her about page says about Jill: "More people have walked on the moon than have been to some of the places Jill Heinerth has explored right here on earth. She is a veteran of over thirty years of filming, photography and exploration on projects in submerged caves around the world with National Geographic, NOAA, various educational institutions and television networks worldwide. She is the inaugural Explorer in Residence for the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, recipient of Canada's prestigious Polar Medal and the diving world's highest award from the Academy of Underwater Arts and Sciences, the NOGI. As a motivational speaker, Jill Heinerth educates and inspires people about our fascinating underwater world. Partnering with Penguin Random House in Canada and Harper Collins in the US, Jill will soon be releasing four new major-market, non-fiction and children's books."
