“Bear Valley is the hidden treasure of the Sierra.”

“Sea Hunt was the first time anyone tackled a show that took place underwater. The stories were sort of exciting for kids, like cops and robbers underwater.”

“As time went on, I got envious and wanted to do a lot of stunts myself.”

“I'm foremost an actor. I feel embarrassed being compared to the guys who really work at it. I fake it, I make believe I know all about it, which is what you're supposed to do as an actor.”

“Carrying those double tanks around all the time got to be a little rough on me. I had to put that damn wetsuit on and take it off, sometimes three or four times a day.”

“I needed to feed my family. I read a couple of the episodes. How can you keep on doing the same thing?”

“We wanted to set a good example for the growing number of divers watching.”

“For four years doing that same character all the time kind of bothered me. Butit opened up a lot of doors.”

“We worked under a lot of pressure... three days to do an episode, sometimes two in a week, 39 episodes a year.”

“There's a lot to be said about what's happening to our ocean, big companies polluting it with their oil and all the raw garbage that's being spilled in there.”
