From the Fjords of Norway to the Shores of South Africa.

Susy hails from the coastal fjords of northern Norway, where her love affair with the ocean began. The stunning, icy waters of her homeland ignited a passion for marine life that has only grown stronger over the years.

Since 2013, Susy has been on a mission to encounter and understand Great White sharks, a journey that led her to the shores of South Africa. Her initial visit sparked a deep connection with the region’s marine ecosystem and its majestic predators.

In 2014, Susy returned to South Africa as a volunteer with the Marine Dynamics Academy. Her dedication and enthusiasm quickly became apparent as she contributed to various conservation efforts. Multiple visits followed, solidifying her role within the Marine Dynamics family. In 2019, Susy officially joined the crew, bringing her wealth of knowledge and passion to the team.

Beyond her guiding duties, Susy is a frequent diver who loves to immerse herself in the underwater world. She is always eager to share her diving experiences and knowledge about sharks and the ocean with others. Her enthusiasm for marine life is contagious, inspiring guests to develop their own passion for ocean conservation.

Susy’s journey from the fjords of Norway to the dynamic waters of South Africa is a testament to her dedication and love for marine life. Her role at Marine Dynamics allows her to fulfil her dream of working closely with sharks while educating others about the importance of marine conservation.
