Technical diving opens up a whole new world for shark researchers like Dr. Yannis Papastamatiou, who has built a career studying predator dynamics in some of the most remote and challenging underwater environments. In this episode, Yannis shares his global journey through the UK, Greece, California, Hawaii, and now Florida — explaining how each location shaped his shark research and conservation strategies.
Shark science isn’t just about getting close to these apex predators — it’s also about the sophisticated diving techniques and equipment needed to study their behavior where most humans can’t go. We dig deep into the importance of technical diving for accessing shark habitats, why it matters for predator-prey studies, and how science divers train for this demanding work. Whether you’re into marine biology, scuba diving, or just love sharks, this episode will fascinate you.
