Jeffrey Evan Bozanic (born October 5, 1957) is an American technical and scientific diver, author, inventor, and scientist who is known for his contributions to diving and underwater research and exploration.

Early life

[edit]

Inspired by Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Bozanic began learning scuba at age 15 in lieu of taking traditional high school physical education classes. After a two-year hiatus, Bozanic was re-certified by his physics teacher, John Wozny, through NAUI. He continued his interest in diving through college and completed his instructor candidate course at the age of 20, and when he turned 21 was able to begin dive instruction. [1][2] Throughout his youth, Bozanic was active with the Boy Scouts of America and achieved the distinction of Eagle Scout in 1972.[3] He remains active as a volunteer with the Boy Scouts of America.

Education

[edit]

Bozanic attended the University of California, Irvine from 1974 to 1977 and in 1978 received an Associate of Arts degree from Santa Ana College in Underwater Technology. In 1979, he obtained a Bachelor of Science in Geology, and the following year a Master of Arts in Environmental Education, both from Humboldt State University. In 1982, he received a Master of Business Administration in International Studies from the University of California, Los Angeles. From 1982 to 1984, he attended the University of Miami and conducted doctoral studies in oceanography. In 2003, Bozanic obtained his Doctor of Philosophy in Education from Madison University.[4]

(1980-1989) and Dive Locker Technician for Antarctic Support Associates, Inc. (1991-1992) and Antarctic Services, Inc (1998-1990).[4]
