Jennifer Idol – Underwater Conservation Artist, Photographer, Filmmaker and Author
Hey everyone welcome to another episode of the League of Extraordinary Divers. It’s great to be with you today. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to dive in all fifty states? Frankly, I’ve got to admit I never have because there are some states where I figured there’s probably not any diving there. But when you think about all the lakes, quarries, rivers, springs, sinkholes, caves, mines and even missile silos – there are plenty of places to submerge underwater and explore in our United States. Well our guest today did just that. Jennifer Idol is the first woman to dive 50 states.
Jennifer is an expert in diving, design, and visual storytelling, and she connects people to the natural world so they can experience its wonder through her underwater photography and film. She showcased local waters in her book, An American Immersion, a quest in which she became the first woman to dive 50 states.
Her underwater photography and stories have been shared in periodicals such as DIVER, SCUBA Diving, and Alert Diver. Her connection to local waters led to her being recognized as a PADI® Ambassadiver (2017 and 2018) and as a member of the Ocean Artists Society and The Explorer’s Club.
