Retrieved from ScubaGuru - Expert Advice & Best Practices for Scuba Diving Professionals Jonathan Bird, Producer, Cinematographer & Host of Jonathan Bird’s Blue World Hey everyone welcome to another episode of the League of Extraordinary Divers. If you’ve been a listener of this podcast then you have heard that I (and many of my guests) grew up watching the Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau. Basically it was an underwater documentary and it has inspired countless divers to be underwater explorers. Well my guest today is doing the same thing with his award-winning underwater series Jonathan Bird’s Blue World. Jonathan Bird is an Emmy award-winning cinematographer specializing in underwater production. He is the host and producer of Jonathan Bird’s Blue World, an Emmy Award-winning educational family-friendly underwater adventure series airing on public television and YouTube, now in its 7th season. Jonathan has shot and directed over 50 films for broadcast and education. His films have appeared all over the world, on networks such as National Geographic Channel, PBS, ABC, USA Network, Discovery and even the SciFi Channel. Jonathan is the president and founder of Oceanic Research Group, Inc., a non-profit environmental organization founded in 1990 to promote conservation of the world’s oceans. He is the author of seven books of underwater photography. He just released his first IMAX film Ancient Caves. And, he’s a really cool guy!
