The Crew

Originally from Sydney, Australia, Kelly has lived near the ocean her entire life and it has always held such a fascination for her. “I believe it comes from the unknown of what lies beneath the surface, from tiny rock pools brimming with sea life to the dark depths inhabited by either rarely seen or undiscovered creatures. My interest in sharks, particular the Great White Shark, started from a very early age and I sought to learn as much about them as I could. This love of the ocean and the species that inhabit it led me to undertake a Bachelor of Biological Sciences with the University of Wollongong. I was inspired after my studies to travel and volunteer abroad, which is how I found myself in South Africa in 2013, spending 2 months in Gansbaai with Marine Dynamics. In the beginning of 2014 I found myself back with Marine Dynamics but this time as a crew member. I could not envision a better day than being out on the water seeing these magnificent creatures and giving people the chance to experience the true Great White Shark for themselves, as well as doing so as part of a team that seeks to protect and conserve these and other species through research and educational programs.”
