JASON CRESSEY developed a passionate interest in dolphins and whales from an early age.
Since completing his undergraduate degree and PhD in Psychology at Oxford University, his
adventurous spirit has led him to more than sixty countries so far to spend time with dolphins
and whales, and the people who love them. With scientists and shamans, he has gathered
a unique collection of myths, legends, and beliefs –– many appearing in print for the first time
–– in an effort to educate and excite the reader.
Founder of The POD –– People, Oceans, Dolphins –– Jason leads ecotours to encounter dolphins and whales in the wild. “Once you have looked into the
eye of a dolphin in the wild, or heard the song of a humpback whale flowing through your body, then you’re never quite the same again,” he says.
“No matter how many times I see a dolphin or whale, still my heart races every time.”
Jason is a worldwide presenter at conferences, a motivational speaker, and a travel writer, and has appeared on national television and radio, including
CTV’s Vicky Gabereau Show and CBC’s This Morning. Born in Yorkshire, United Kingdom, he now lives with his spouse on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia.
DEEP VOICES is his first full length book.

DIANE BUCCHERI, founder and publisher of DOLPHIN Magazine and OCEAN Magazine, is the founder of OCEAN, a not for profit
organization dedicated to celebrating and protecting the ocean and its creatures. Diane heeded the call of the ocean long ago,
and answers its call every day. It is there that she gains love, respect, appreciation, and knowledge of and for the ocean and its
living creatures -– hence celebration and protection. Long ago as a young child Diane ventured to the beach, swam, sat and read,
listened and looked. Sand was on the pages and in the crevices of her schoolbooks. Now the seeds of her inspiration and thoughts for DOLPHIN
and OCEAN grow at the beach and among the waves and wind. Here too, she hears the call of the dolphins.
