Kirk Krack has spent the last five and a half years working with James Cameron on Avatar 2, ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½˜The Way of WaterÎÚÑ»´«Ã½™ teaching actors and crew free diving.

How does a kid from the prairies make it to the set of one of the worldÎÚÑ»´«Ã½™s biggest movies teaching diving?

ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½˜Yeah, ItÎÚÑ»´«Ã½™s funny, everyone wants to know that, right? When I explain where IÎÚÑ»´«Ã½™m from, Saskatchewan, I always explain it to my American friends, itÎÚÑ»´«Ã½™s the land where you watch your dog run away for three daysÎÚÑ»´«Ã½™.

KrackÎÚÑ»´«Ã½™s parents gave the 14-year-old lifeguard, scuba lessons for his birthday and the rest is history.

Having trained athletes like Tiger Woods, Military teams and actors and production people, Krack remains a strong supporter of the environment, having worked on the award-winning documentary, ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½˜The CoveÎÚÑ»´«Ã½™.

ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½˜We were trying to shoot this documentary about the health and the state of the oceans and the pressure theyÎÚÑ»´«Ã½™re under and what we need to mitigate disasters for it, then we found this slaughter of dolphins that was still going onÎÚÑ»´«Ã½™.

Krack is rejoining the Oceanic Preservation Society working on a multi-year project, four to six expeditions a year around the world which will take the next two to three years.

The diver talks to host Peter McCully about working with Tom Cruise and stunt doubling as ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½˜BatmanÎÚÑ»´«Ã½™.
