INTERVIEW with RODENBERRY DIVE TEAM Director

In the same way that Star Trek portrays a future of universal acceptance and humankind’s exploration of space, the Roddenberry Dive Team is a real world effort to share the diversity of our planet and to educate, explore and preserve our Earth’s oceans for future generations. Roddenberry Dive Team is committed to the promotion of these ideals through safe diving activities; they are passionate about incorporating the philanthropic messages embedded in Star Trek into real world experiences for divers and non-divers around the world. Rodenberry Dive Team is committed to carrying on the legacy of optimism that was handed down to us by Gene Roddenberry. The Roddenberry Dive Team is made up of people just like you from all across the world, divers and non-divers alike who not only have an interest in ocean exploration and recreation but also a love for the vision and optimism that was handed down by Gene Roddenberry. The Roddenberry Dive Team was founded by Eugene “Rod” Roddenberry, son of Gene Roddenberry and Majel Barrett Roddenberry. It is Rod’s love of diving, exploration and the oceans that sparked the idea of the Roddenberry Dive Team. In his own words: “I have found the world beneath the sea to be one of the most exotic and magical places on Earth. For me, diving is a unique experience that quenches my thirst for adventure and discovery.“
