This popular Charter and Coast Guard Captain and Divemaster has put together a show that is universally appealing – whether they be armchair adventurers or gung-ho explorers.

When Ron and his experts explore an area, they do more than throw out a line and fish.

You'll see things like underwater cave exploration, cavern diving, spear fishing and a search for ancient artifacts.

The show also features tips to keep you and your family safe while exploring or enjoying the ocean, and ways you can help protect the fragile ocean environment. Episodes include deep dropping in the Grand Bahamas, Wahoo fishing in North Carolina, lobster diving in the Florida Keys, and angling for king salmon in Alaska.

Besides witnessing these exciting hunts, you'll see Ron cook up the catch and share his delicious recipes. Previous catch/recipes include mouth-watering treats like Braised Whole Snapper Chili, 3 Rivers Blackened Fish with Garlic Shrimp Sauce, and for the truly adventurous, Fried Gator Bites!
