Luke Tipple is joined by “the shark whisperer,” Cristina Zenato. She’s a professional diver, shark expert and founder of People of the Water. Cristina discusses the amazing work she does in the Bahamas, having Caribbean reef sharks relax in her lap. She’s been working with sharks for 30 years and has had first hand experiences connecting with reef sharks with different personalities. The two discuss shark cognitive instincts, memory passed through DNA and shark’s emotions and personalities. After 30 years of working with sharks, she attests to the fact that sharks are the safest animal to interact with on the planet.
