Robert John Palmer
1951-1997
Rolex SEA-DWELLER AD
Robert Palmer was one of Britain's leading technical and cave divers and was sell known in the United States. He was probably best known for having explored the Bahamas Blue Holes. He was not only a Rolex Geographic Society Fellow, but also a member of The Explorer's Club. He was also an instructor for The British Cave Diving Group. One day, in 1997, while diving in Hurghada, Egypt in the Red Sea, he mysteriously disappeared and his remains were never found. If you are student of the history of The Rolex SEA-DWELLER, you want to make certain not to confuse Robert John Palmer with Robert Palmer Bradley, who was another famous diver with a very similar name who died in a diving accident in 1973.
