Ghislain Bardout is a world-famous ocean explorer who specialises in dives around the North Pole and in technical deep dives. As a co-founder of Under the Pole expeditions, he has pioneered missions combining scientific research, innovative technology and ocean preservation. Join Ghislain in conversation with host Emily Bates to hear about his incredible career, the challenges of diving in extremely deep and cold environments, and how we all have a part to play in preserving our oceans. You can also watch the full 'Heroes of the Oceans' documentary before you visit the show for a sneak peak of the work of Ghislain and his colleagues. Narrated by legendary oceanographer and marine explorer Sylvia Earle, this documentary showcases Ghislain and five other marine scientists who are working to expand our knowledge of the oceans and save endangered animals. Ghislain Bardout is co-founder and leader of the Under The Pole expeditions, which Rolex supports.
