Movies like 'The Abyss' and 'Jaws' make people think the ocean is threatening. It's not. It's very tranquil.

Everyone loves to fly and flying underwater is even better than flying in air because there are things around you.

I don't have to be smarter than anybody else. I've just plain worked harder and longer than anybody else.

Theres something just magical about flight. Period.

The ocean is this beautiful, unexplored place. Why on Earth everyone isn't down there, I don't know.

The crazy thing is we live on an ocean planet - nobody gets that yet.

Scientists are always the ones who head into the ocean, but I want to take writers and politicians, people who can convey the beauty that is there and perhaps do something to take care of it.
