Dean Bernal

from My First Season · host Greg Hannah

My guest today first arrived at Club Med Eleuthera in 1986 as a Scuba G.O. If you were a G.O. at Club Med during the '80s or '90s and his name doesn't immediately ring a bell, you'll almost certainly know him as the man behind the longest-lasting documented human-dolphin relationship in recorded history. If you were there, chances are you saw the two of them swimming and playing together. Because his story is truly one of a kind, we're splitting our conversation into many interviews. In the first, we'll dive into his Club Med experience at Eleuthera. In the second, we’ll talk about his time at Club Med Turks and Caicos, and in another interview, we'll explore his extraordinary bond with JoJo the dolphin. Joining us from California, please help me welcome the one and only, Dean Bernal!! **My First Season podcast has always been ad-free and free to listen to and is available to download on: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Samsung Podcasts, Podbean App, Podchaser, Spotify, Amazon Music/Audible, TuneIn + Alexa, iHeartRadio, PlayerFM, Pandora and Listen Notes.
