Stephan Wheelan started DeepBlue in 1996, and it has since grown to be one of the leading digital media and lifestyle sites for people interested in ocean sports and conservation. His love of diving started at eight years old when he experienced a “try-dive” in a hotel pool, and he’s been hooked ever since. Stephan’s dedication to the success of the site has led to the success of other writers and contributors in the industry. Today, DeeperBlue is considered a credible and respected source in the diving, freediving, spearfishing, and ocean conservancy communities.
