43: How to swim with sharks (as a job) with Kaitlyn McQueeney

I always wondered what it takes to become someone that works with sharks for a living. Kaitlyn McQueeney walks us through her career journey, from studying marine biology to getting on boats and to finally becoming the wildlife guide and shark conservationist that she is today. We chat about what it’s like being responsible for the safety of others in the ocean with sharks around, and the most common misconceptions about the animals. If you've ever wondered how people get into the field of dive tourism, you'll like this episode!
