CONNECTING SHARKNUTS EVERYWHERE

VIRTUAL SHARK EXPERIENCES

Shark fans are everywhere, but meeting in person—or underwater—isn’t always easy. That’s why I offer a range of virtual meetups to bring you closer to the world of sharks, wherever you are. From live Q&As and classroom sessions to exclusive documentary insights, there’s a format to match your interests. Whether you’re curious about shark science, conservation, shark attacks, or behind-the-scenes stories from Shark Week and SharkFest, each session is tailored to suit your passion. Explore the options below to find the best way to connect

VIRTUAL MEETUP

Want to bring the world of sharks to your classroom, group, or screen? Book an exclusive live Zoom session with me for an unforgettable dive into the ocean’s most fascinating predators. Whether you’re a school group, university class, seeking an interview, or just curious ocean lovers, I tailor each meetup to your level and interests—mixing science, storytelling, and behind-the-scenes insight from my work with sharks. Sessions can include Q&A, visual presentations, and stories from the field. Perfect for inspiring students, sparking curiosity, and learning about sharks in a whole new way.

BE A PATREON

Support my work on Patreon and get exclusive access to the real world of shark science and documentary filmmaking. As a shark scientist and host for Shark Week and SharkFest, I share behind-the-scenes field diaries from our shoots, showing what really goes on beneath the surface. You’ll get access to monthly live Q&A sessions where I answer your questions directly, digital field kits from my expeditions, and exclusive invites to virtual premieres of upcoming documentaries. Your support helps fund the science, storytelling, and conservation work I do, while bringing you closer to the action.

CAMEO GREETING

Got a shark-obsessed friend or loved one? Give them a jaw-some surprise with a personalized Cameo shoutout from me — shark scientist, documentary host, and fellow fin fanatic. Whether it’s a birthday, graduation, or just a random Tuesday, I’ll drop some shark wisdom, behind-the-scenes trivia, or just say hi with ocean-sized enthusiasm. It’s the perfect gift for anyone who lives and breathes Shark Week, SharkFest, or just loves the ocean’s most misunderstood predators.

VIRTUAL CROWDCAST

Dive into the world of shark science and documentaries from the comfort of your home. Join me on my Live Crowdcast Virtual Experience, where I take you behind the scenes of some of the most extreme shark productions ever made. From Shark Wranglers to Nat Geo’s Sharkville, Camo Sharks, and Whale vs Shark, I’ll share how we research, track, film, and work with the ocean’s top predators. Expect insider stories, rare footage, and a chance to ask your questions live.

Frequently asked questions

Sure thing. To facilitate an interview, book a time under virtual meetups. This will give you 30 minutes dedicated one-on-one time where I can answer all your questions about sharks, science, documentaries and understanding the wild world of sharks

Sharks are fascinating to a huge number of people around the world. Having researched, filmed, and worked with great white sharks for over 20 years means that I receive a steady stream of email requests for career advice, interviews, and more. So, unfortunately, I do not have time to respond to these email requests.

Virtual meetups are exclusive for you or your group of classmates, friends, or colleagues. You can set it up as you wish. Alternatively, crowdcasts are non-exclusive meetings where I take you on a trip into the world of researching and filming great white sharks.

My work schedule is always dynamic, so I’d rather arrange a suitable time for meetups that work for both of us. So simply book a slot, and then I will connect to find a suitable time that works for all of us in the meetup.

I have different tiers of Patreon supporters. You can choose what one is most suitable. The benefits and exclusive access to each tier are presented on Patreon – take a look
