Since my first diving trip in Turkey back in 1992, my partner became my official diver buddy and together we have been diving at many spots, where visibility and water temperature are ideal, plus the locations are perfect for me to do shooting underwater.
It doesn’t matter if it’s Marmaris (Turkey), Key West, Maui, Molokini (USA)… or even any of the beautiful beaches near Rio (Brazil)… scuba or free diving has become our ritual to meditate. To find ourselves contemplating the beauty of life with a real sense of love and happiness: BEING IN OVER OUR HEADS!!! C’mom, come dive with us!

-Dame Ellen MacArthur of Great Britain
-Olin Stephens of the USA
-Eric Tabarly of France
-Barbara Kendall of New Zealand

Nominations for inductees were submitted by ISAF members, with the final decision confirmed by the ISAF Executive Committee.

Next up: Roy Grabenauer built his first single-passenger kayak, the Royak, in 1968.

The Royak’s claim to fame is that it set the precedent for all sit-on-top kayak designs.

His design of a lightweight, comfortable boat that would not sink, that he could get in and out of easily in rough water, and that had enough storage for his scuba gear quickly gained popularity in the Northern California scuba diving scene.

With 300 orders in his first year of business, Roy was clearly on his way. By 1978, 2,000 Royaks were sold worldwide. Today, the Royak Company boasts a complete line of Royak models, accessories, and gear.

For more information about the Royak experience, including details about their unique Blenderboat, please visit http://www.Royak.com
