In Episode 10, we have the first of our fabulous co-host interviews. This week we have Linden Wolbert (or Mermaid Linden as a lot of us know her) with an interview with Paul De Gelder - someone with an incredible life story.
Paul’s story started in the Australian Army Airborne before becoming a Navy bomb disposal expert then an encounter with a bull shark in 2009 changed his life forever as he lost an arm and a leg in the shark attack. You’d think losing an arm and a leg might generate some animosity towards sharks but since then he’s become an author, motivational speaker, and regularly appears as a host on the annual Shark Week on Discovery.
Then we hear from writer, producer and TV host Kinga Philipps. She tells us why she is hot for snark snot.
And then finally we hear from Chantelle Taylor Newman on her Best Dive Ever.

Scuba Diving, Freediving, Dive Travel, and Ocean Advocacy: the DeeperBlue Podcast is your weekly guide to everything happening around the world... underwater.
In Season One, we had an incredible lineup of guests, from world record freediving champions to leaders of the dive industry. We spoke with executives at some of the dive agencies and explored stories from legendary figures in the ocean community, had ocean celebrities we see on TV and spoke with explorers of the deepest reaches of our planet including diving the Titanic.

With Season Two we’ll only expand that reach and have even more incredible interviews which we’ve already started lining up,.... from...... one of the world’s foremost experts on diving with sharks, to social media diving influencers shaping new ways we interact with the ocean. We’ll talk with the first woman to dive all 50 states, and an entrepreneur helping people live-stream direct from the oceans to your phone. So in many ways, season two has an even broader cross-section of iconic people from across the worldwide ocean community, and we are super excited to share their stories.

So please, join us as we continue our exploration of the world’s ocean community through the voices of the people who shape it.
