Whale Vs Woman
Nan Hauser is a marine biologist with a taste for thrill and adventure. But one frightening day in the South Pacific Ocean would change her life forever. It would open her eyes to the forces of nature, as well as to the natural instincts within herself. The ocean may look beautiful on the surface, but there is a very different world beneath it.
For those who are not so sure about what marine biology is, here’s a brief explanation. It is the scientific study of marine life and organisms in the seas. In order to become a marine biologist you have to do one heck of a lot of studying. For starters you will have to get a bachelor’s degree which could take up to four years. After that you have to get a master’s degree which usually takes two or three years. And once those two are complete, you can head off to do your PhD which can easily take six years, if not more. Does it still sound appealing to you? Go for it, but remember that the ocean is not always what it seems.
The ocean is a dangerous place. It is the home to thousands of different creatures, beautiful and grotesque. Each has made the ocean a dwelling place of its own, making it the most diverse ecosystem on our planet. Divers and marine biologists have spent hours upon hours exploring its depths, crevices and history. Some believe that we know more about outer space than we do about the deep blue that makes up two thirds of our Earth. And although it may look beautiful on the surface, there are creatures that lurk beneath the ripples that could put our lives in immediate danger. Nobody would know this better than Nan Hauser.
It was no new experience for her to be documenting and exploring life in the seas of planet Earth. She did admit that each trip was like a new learning experience since there was always something new about it. However, nothing would ever prepare her for the ordeal she would experience on that fateful day in the South Pacific Ocean. There would be no better way to actually feel the depths of the ocean than through the way that Nan Hauser did. This is her incredible story.
