In this episode of The Most Serious Podcast, we talk to Cristina Zenato, who comes again on the show after first joining us on Episode 8. Now, 77 episodes later, she’s back on Episode 85—and her stories are more gripping than ever.

Cristina is a world-renowned shark behaviorist, cave diver, and conservationist known for her incredible work with Caribbean reef sharks and her deep commitment to ocean preservation. We talk about how she developed trust with wild sharks, what she’s currently working on in the Bahamas, and what continues to drive her fearless pursuit of misunderstood ecosystems.

We also dive into shark myths, conservation realities, human-shark interaction, and what Cristina has learned from a lifetime spent beneath the surface. If you’ve ever searched for Cristina Zenato, her shark diving, or her cave explorations—you’re in the right place.
