TV presenter, author and conservationist Miranda Krestovnikoff is returning to the Main Stage at the GO Diving Show in March, after a two-year hiatus from the event.
Miranda, who has been on several diving trips with her teenage son and daughter in the past two years, is looking forward to returning to this year's event (2-3 March 2024), and in fact, the topic of ‘family diving' will be front and centre to her presentations, and she'll be joined on stage by Oliver and Amelie, who will be giving their thoughts on youth diving.
Miranda will be joining a host of star names on the Main Stage, including fellow TV presenters Monty Halls (making a welcome return after a one-year hiatus from the show) and Andy Torbet, technical diving legend Jarrod Jablonski, freediving guru and key DEEP team member Kirk Krack, powerboat champion and stunt performer Sarah Donohue and underwater photography master Alex Mustard.
Miranda Krestovnikoff
Miranda was studying zoology at Bristol University when she discovered her love for making wildlife stories during a three-month placement as an assistant to a wildlife cameraman on a Natural World project. From then, she knew she wanted to work in wildlife film-making, and she managed to secure work at the BBC Natural History Unit, moving from being a runner, to a researcher, and then getting her big break in 1998 when she presented for Fox Television.
Since then she has travelled far and wide, presenting for many different TV channels and programmes, including The One Show and Coast, and she has recently become an ambassador for Project Seagrass, an organisation dedicated to saving seagrass habitats around the world.
She was listed as one of the Top 100 Most Influential Women in the West in 2018.
