Robert Wintner aka Snorkel Bob recalls the day in 1955 when his father took him to Walgreen’s in Miami for a $ 2 mask & snorkel – the deluxe with the ping-​pong ball – then down to the beach and into the shallows. The old man’s wingtips got soaked as Bobby put his face in the water. A 3 «sand crab waved a claw, and Bobby took it for a greeting, looking up and sputtering, «Oh, God! You can see everything!»

Meet the Business Owner

Snorkel B.

Business Owner

Snorkel Bob is a waterlogged, gillbreathing reef addict, owner of the only fin and snorkel manufacturing company in Hawaii, and the state’s largest reef outfitter.

Out of water he’s immersed in that least destructive of human behaviors – the pursuit of art. Under the nom de plume Robert Wintner, his literary fiction has met with mixed reviews – raves from the literarily astute; ravings from the values-​challenged. Wintner’s most recent book is Neptune Speaks (Skyhorse, NY: 2012).

Wintner’s 2007 novel, In a Sweet Magnolia Time (Permanent Press, Sag Harbor, NY) was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. His novels Whirlaway and The Modern Outlaws were both optioned for film rights by Hollywood production companies.

Today, Robert Wintner is Executive Director of the Snorkel Bob Foundation, member of the Board of Directors for Sea Shepherd Conservation Society USA, and an active member of Hawaii’s conservation community, working diligently to protect Hawaii’s reefs.
