Judith Scott presented a Marine Evening on her lifelong passion for whales, travel and photography. This whale enthusiast has been working for Dyer Island Cruises for the past three whale seasons as a guide on the Marine Big 5 tours. She first started working with whales eighteen years ago after falling in love with them at the age of seven.

Judith has worked on whale watching boats in many places and presented us with information on the various species that can be seen in different parts of the world. She also told us about her work on The Voyage of the Odyssey, a five year global voyage that sailed around the world studying pollution levels building up in sperm whales. Judith has developed a passion for photography through her work and showed us many of her images captured while whale watching off every continent. To view more of her images captured on Marine Big 5 tours, visit Dyer Island Cruises’ DAILY BLOG. These blogs capture the best sightings in the Dyer Island ecosystem throughout the year.

She currently works here in South Africa until December before travelling to Iceland and Mexico to continue working with a variety of species of whales and dolphins. Judith’s passion for whales is absolutely contagious and she is a stellar marine wildlife ambassador.
