Who was Rob Palmer?
Rob Palmer was a widely published author of several popular books on cave and technical diving, as well as over 200 magazine articles.
He was a member of the Explorer's Club, an instructor for the British Cave Diving Group, founder of the Bahamas Blue Holes Foundation and a Director of TDI Europe.
He was considered one of the world's top cave divers and a leading diving educator. His most adventurous dives were undertaken in the 1980s when he lived in Bristol, working as a schoolteacher.
In 1982, he made a record 2,700 feet journey through the Blue Holes of Andros Island, off the Bahamas. He filmed the dive and wrote of it in his book, Deep Into Blue Holes.
He had also conducted record-breaking dives in underground cave systems, journeying 700 feet below Wookey Hole and Cheddar and into a lost network thought to extend 30 miles under the Mendip Hills.
In recent years, Rob had given up his more dangerous expeditions and moved to the Bahamas with his wife Stefanie. He was concentrating on teaching and writing.
The worldwide diving community mourns his loss. All who have known Rob have been touched by his sincerity, warmth and unassuming manner. He is missed by his many friends worldwide
