Emily Riedel stars in Bering Sea Gold, a reality TV show on Discovery Channel that documents the gold mining adventures of various crews on their dredgers in either shallow waters, seas, or oceans. She started off as a deckhand and diver in season 1 and 2 and moved up the ladder to include captain in her resume in season three.
Gold dredging involves harsh conditions, extremely strenuous activities, and is a male-dominated field, and it was, therefore, a dangerous and risky investment for Emily as a woman.
