Hi all you great white shark fans!

I learned to scuba dive for the express purpose of going diving with great white sharks, my favorite animal in the world. Finally a couple of years ago, I got the opportunity ? and it was AMAZING.

When I decided I wanted to try podcasting (audio blogging, basically) I thought I?d make my first episode about my adventures with great whites. I thought I?d share it with you guys, since you?re also great white enthusiasts. My podcast is called the Perlgurl.org podcast, and you can find it by searching on iTunes or your favorite podcast program. You can also download the mp3 directly from the website, which I?ll post below.

Even if you?re not interested in listening to me babble about great whites for 30 minutes? you?ll want to check the show notes, where I posted lots of pictures and video from my trip. Here?s a summary of the program:

In this episode, we talk a lot about how amazing it is to see great white sharks in the wild, as well as how cage diving works. We also cover things like why sharks need protection and some of the current shark research efforts underway. We review a great shark diving reference called The Shark Watcher?s Handbook, and as well as several fun shark movies (and even a video game!) to get us in the shark watching mood!

Here?s the direct link with the mp3, pictures, video and show notes: Episode #1: We're Going To Need A Bigger Boat - Great White Sharks

I?d love to hear your comments, so feel free to email me. You can find the address at the bottom of the show notes.
