More people have been to outer space than to the underwater caves that Jill Heinerth has explored. She is world-renowned cave diver credited with exploration of both the deepest and longest caves in the world, the first ever descent of iceberg caves in Antarctica, and helped create the first ever 3-D map of an underwater cave.
She has documented her discoveries through various TV series, documentaries, and books about life below the surface. We discuss all of this, and more!
