Miranda Krestovnikoff first came to notice as one of the BBC’s Coast presenters along with Neil Oliver, Nicholas Crane, Alice Roberts, and Mark Horton. Other presenters joined in series three. They were Hermione Cockburn and also Dick Strawbridge.
In Coast, Miranda was usually found in the sea 10 to 20 meters below the surface. Here she was discovering the culinary and therapeutic properties of seaweed, dolphin watching in South Wales or swimming with the second biggest fish in the sea the basking shark.
She was described by Dive Magazine as ‘The highest profile Wreck diver in Britain.
Miranda represents a new breed of wreck divers one to whom the idea of removing a porthole would never occur.
Miranda was born in 1973 in Buckinghamshire She has always loved to be outdoors and spent much of her early childhood climbing trees and also walking barefoot in the local woods. Her passion for wildlife started early on by observing animals in the wild and keeping a veritable menagerie at home in the laundry room!
She was educated at school in Reading and went onto study Zoology at Bristol University. From here, she caught the wildlife filmmaking bug and even before graduating, secured work at the BBC Natural History Unit. Moving from Runner to Researcher, she worked at other production companies in Bristol. This was before a lucky break into presenting in 1999 for Fox Television. This first break into presenting gave her the opportunity to travel and also present conservation stories from around the globe. From this, she moved onto presenting projects as diverse as metals detecting, local history and marine conservation. She has written about her experiences for various publications including ‘Diver’ magazine and PADI where in 2019 she became PADI’s first UK Ambbassadiver
She hopes to convey her passion for wildlife conservation and the environment through her work as a presenter.
