Giovanna Fasanelli

After a childhood spent revelling in the wonders of South Africa's shorelines and rock pools, Giovanna knew that she was destined for a life exploring the world's oceans. She emigrated to Australia with her family in 1997, and went on to study Marine Biology at James Cook University, Queensland. Since the age of sixteen Giovanna has been scuba-diving throughout the Indo-Pacific and has extensive experience not only as a PADI dive master and underwater photographer but as a research assistant and presenter on marine-related television shows. From satellite tagging of Tiger Sharks and Green Turtles to researching the latest developments in fisheries and aquaculture, Giovanna has spent the last decade passionately involved with the oceans and their preservation. Her latest project has seen her qualify as a submarine pilot whilst presenting a National Geographic documentary series in Australia. Nothing brings her greater joy than to share her wonderment for the sea with fellow travelers.
