The Essentials of Cave Diving - Second Edition Tapa blanda - 2014

More people have walked on the moon, than have been to some of the places that Jill's exploration has taken her right here on the earth. Jill's accolades include induction as a Fellow into the Explorer's Club and the inaugural class of the Women Diver's Hall of Fame. She received the Wyland ICON Award and was named a "Living Legend" by Sport Diver Magazine and selected as Scuba Diving Magazine's "Sea Hero of the Year 2012." In recognition of her lifetime achievement, Jill was awarded the inaugural Medal for Exploration. Established by the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, the medal recognizes singular achievements and the pursuit of excellence by an outstanding Canadian explorer. Jill's photography and writing have been featured in prominent publications and major media outlets around the world. She regularly contributes to the development of training materials for international dive organizations, and is the author of four books on cave diving and underwater photography. With her creative collaborator, the late Wes Skiles, Jill wrote, produced, and appeared in numerous underwater adventure films and television programs, including the award winning PBS documentary series "Water's Journey." She has been called upon by Hollywood producers as a diving technical consultant and camera operator and produces independent film projects through her company Heinerth Productions Inc. Jill's life passion is educating the public about fresh water issues. She brings her unique perspective from deep inside the earth, helping us understand that our activities on the surface affect not only our drinking water, but also the health of rivers, lakes and ultimately the world's oceans. Teaching people about their interconnectivity with the natural world, Jill's current project, titled "We Are Water" combines documentary filmmaking, live presentations and social media. Born in Canada, Jill lives with her husband Robert, in North Florida, where she starts most days with a refreshing swim in the clear water of her local spring.
