Up close and personal with great white sharks

As a young boy, New Zealander Philip White had a dream of working in and on the ocean. In particular, sharks had a particular interest.

That dream came a step closer this year, after he was accepted as an intern with the Blue Wilderness Research Unit in South Africa. 

Philip is now back in New Zealand, and he talks to Jesse about his amazing adventure. 

Philip White has had a passion for the ocean since he was a young boy.
