Truly a loss. Rob's passion made me feel like I knew him. What a useless tragedy. My condolences to his friends and family.

Condolences to his family. Sharks need protection. Too many being harvested.

What a loss. Sharkwater was the beginning of an awakening for me, a component of setting me on a course that has taken me around the world. It came out just as I started diving with sharks in South Africa and one Rob Stewart's words were a perfect fit.
“You’re told your whole life since you were a kid, sharks are dangerous. You’re warned not to go adventuring too far out into the ocean, but then finally… you see the thing you were taught your whole life to fear, and it’s perfect, and it doesn’t want to hurt you, and it’s the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen. And your whole world changes.”

Heartfelt condolences to the Stewart family and to all of Rob's friends. I was in my LDS yesterday and they said that from time to time Rob would drop in and he was always "very good to the shop".
Thank you for being an untiring advocate for sharks. You will be greatly missed.

Thanks to his 17 years relentless actions against shark finning, against long-line shark fishing & for providing awareness to all about what was happening. I now can still enjoy to see schooling hammerheads in Galapagos.

Sharkwater 2 to continue in honor of Rob Stewart
The movie Rob Stewart was filming when he met with tragedy in the Florida Keys will be continued, according to his parents, Brian and Sandy Stewart. They are taking time to grieve the loss of their beloved son, but they confirm that Rob’s hard work on Sharkwater: Extinction will be honored by completing the film and getting his message out.
I'm still gutted about losing Rob Stewart so young, but I am glad to hear the project he was working on so passionately on will be completed.
RIP Rob.
EDIT: Rob`s second documentary Revolution is playing on CBC tomorrow, Sat Feb 11, 12 Noon EST/9 AM PST
