GM: You use a lot of math and science in your planning for the expeditions. I also loved adventure movies and shows too, like reruns of Sea Hunt and all nature shows-I couldn’t get enough! My all time favorite was Island of the Blue Dolphins. MHG: I did! I was a big fan of adventure books when I was a kid. GM: Did you watch/read adventure stories as a kid? What kinds? He also has a background in marine archeology, so we did most of the site dives and documentation together as well… it was really amazing in the waters off of Brazil, a perfect opportunity to totally dork out on all of the historical components that were involved! Dive length would vary depending on the site and depth of course, but it is always a good day when spent underwater. I really enjoy working with a team and this expedition was no exception! Captain Keith, who is also on the team, and I worked closely together on planing the dives and dive safety throughout the expedition. I was brought onto the team in large part for my dive expertise and water experience working on marine crews for various projects, productions, and field work-as well as my degree in anthropology and studies in archeology. Mehgan Heaney-Grier: It entails a little of everything, from rallying up gear and tanks, to planning the dives and working the sites. What does that involve? How long are the dives? GeekMom: You’re dive-master for the expedition on Snake Island. So grab your snake-spray and your treasure map and come meet Mehgan!
