Watery Origins

Recently, Stuart traveled to Honduras where he stayed at the CoCo View Resort. There, he put on his SCUBA gear and went exploring! “Wreck diving has fascinated me since childhood,” Stuart posted. “Maybe it was all the Jacques Cousteau I would watch with my father [Chad Stuart]. I had a brave counselor at Catalina Island summer camp who would let me explore the sunken yachts of Emerald Bay using mask and snorkel.”

Today, Stuart says he’s sharing his passion with his own children. “I’m lucky enough to have been able to pass the fascination along to my youngest son,” the actor adds. Stuart and son also checked out some sea life during their adventures. “Took my youngest son to meet some sharks today in beautiful Roatan, Honduras,” he added.
