CELEBRATING 40 YEARS
Bob Hollis and Oceanic celebrate 40 years. By Bret Gilliam
The company known as Oceanic is aptly named: it is the result of one man’s love of the sea. The company… the man. They are inseparable. And forever joined by a common DNA. Many companies have reached their 40th birthday in the diving industry. But only one, Oceanic, has had one man at its helm from inception to the present day. That’s truly unique.
