Once again thank you so much for your wonderful interview contributions to the One Ocean website.
The interview is now online, and you can listen to it here:

And your biography is here:

The One Ocean series began across Canada on Thursday, March 4th, and each episode thereafter will air every Thursday, until the end of March. I do hope you can watch them, they are terrific.
It was such an honour to speak with you for the online interview. You truly are a leader in your field, and it was inspiring for me, as someone hoping to enter a career in Marine Biology, to listen to your stories and have you share with me your vast knowledge on oceans. I learned a good deal and really hope we get to meet some day... very soon!
All the best with your very important work,
Sarika, on behalf of One Ocean Interactive.”
ONE OCEAN WEBSITE: Wade Doak Author and Underwater Photographer, New Zealand
[Listen to Interview]
"Mother of all life; as I explore the ocean, I am discovering my ancestors."
Wade Doak's Biography Wade Doak, together with his wife Jan, have over one hundred years of underwater exploration and photography between them. Their generation was first to scuba dive and document the undersea world. "It was better than first-footing the moon. We were flying an unknown world." In '63 they came from the South Island to the Tutukaka Coast to explore the Poor Knights Islands and the treasure ship "Elingamite" and the massacre ship "Boyd" . Eighteen books and multiple TV films on fishes, marine life, and South Seas exploration began to flow. A lizardfish was named after Wade. For sixteen years the diving couple edited and published "Dive Magazine". In recent times, they realised it was time to come out of the sea and explore the land. They needed to see the 'big picture'. With their Riches of the North project they have now created an archive that explores 150 top places in Northland, along with its flora and fauna, with intense focus on the pearl: the Tutukaka Coast.

His book, " I am a Fish" (1999), introduces young readers to the various lifestyles of reef fish.
