SCUBA BOB

Scuba Bob's passion is The Ocean and all of the creatures that inhabit this liquid world. Bob has been diving since 1978 and is dedicated to being a voice for those creatures that cannot speak through a television show he has been airing since 2005. He has been teaching Scuba Diving since 1985 and feels that Safety must come first.

His goal is to make sure that divers establish a comfort zone in diving. He feels that the only way to expand their comfort zone is to make more dives and he attempts to provide frequent diving opportunities under the direction of trained professionals. His mantra is

"Keep it Safe, Keep Her Clean and Keep it Smart... Until we Dive Again."

Scuba Bob's Ocean Quest is a television and educational program that is designed to promote ocean conservation, marine awareness and a commitment to make a difference. Our goal is to be politically neutral and acknowledge that we as humans are the cause and solution to many global problems. Conservation is the solution. We need to use our common sense to come up with creative solutions that benefit both mankind and our planet. If we do nothing many of species will be written into the book of Extinction and Extinction is forever and for all…
This mission has been developed out of the compassion and dedication from Scuba Bob. Scuba Bob has been diving for 30 years and has over 6,000 dives. He was voted the best scuba diving instructor in 2002 by the Houston Press. He is dedicated to educating youth and adults on the importance ocean conservation. Over the years he has seen habitat destruction and the extinction of several marine creatures. He is concerned that past predictions of extinction are coming true. Each episode of Ocean Quest will help make people aware of the marine crisis at hand.
The goal of Scuba Bob's Ocean Quest is to turn ignorance into understanding and carelessness into compassion and concern. As stated in one episode a person cannot kill what he or she comes to love. Through each episode of Scuba Bob's Ocean Quest, he hopes to use the lens of the camera to show his audience what he observes and values. Man must change to meet the conservation needs of the present and future. If we do nothing, we will find ourselves beautifully prepared for a world that no longer exists.
Born a native Houstonian, Scuba Bob grew up around the waters of Galveston. With an avid angler as a father, he spent most weekends and summer vacations at his family's beach house on Bolivar, Texas. He quickly learned how to swim at age 5 and loved to explore the tidal pools looking for unique creatures to put in his homemade aquariums. From the first time he entered the water, he preferred being under the water than on the surface. Come experience the beauty, mysteries and adventures the oceans have to offer through Scuba Bob's Ocean Quest.
