In 1981 Bob’s older brother Pete started Central Wisconsin’s first PADI Dive Center located in Hunter’s Corner, Downtown Stevens Point. After they closed their doors in 1984. Pete continued to teach Scuba classes at UWSP and in 1985 Bob officially took over and opened Divepoint Scuba Center on Post Road in Plover. Shortly after opening he met Carrie, they were married in 1987. Divepoint relocated 3 times in the Plover area before moving to Isadore Street in 1990. In the 90’s Bob and Carrie took a scuba diving trip to Hawaii and discovered kayaking. That is why in 1999 they returned to Historic Downtown Stevens Point.
