Cristina Zenato is on the Main Stage at the GO Diving Show in March, promising exciting tales of shark wrangling and exploring cave systems.

Cristina Zenato is a PADI Course Director, NSS-CDS Advanced Cave Diving Instructor, and TDI Technical Instructor. She is globally renowned for his cave-diving expeditions, and for her work with various species of sharks, the latter earning her the nickname ‘Mother of Sharks’. Given that she was the initiator of the movement that resulted in the full protection of sharks in the entire Bahamas, I think you can safely say she deserves that moniker!

She is joining a diverse selection of global talent on the Main Stage this year, alongside the likes of Ross Kemp, Liz Parkinson, Chris Jewell, Andy Torbet, Patrick Widmann, Alex Mustard and Natalie Hewit.
