Join SFDI on Wednesday, April 7th, as we are privileged to welcome worldwide underwater explorer Jill Heinerth. More people have walked on the moon than have been to the places Jill has explored right here on earth. Instead of following maps, she has blazed a trail into the planet exploring lava tubes beneath the ocean floor, submerged caves inside icebergs, and the deepest vistas of the world’s oceans.
Jill’s dynamic multimedia presentation inspires audiences to reach beyond their limitations, challenge the unknown, and overcome their fears. She shares remarkable experiences and lessons learned in the deadly arena of extreme underwater exploration and adventure filmmaking, applying her practical knowledge to share lessons on risk management, discovery learning, failure, and collaboration strategies.
You won’t want to miss this exciting presentation!
