Doug Cook has been an avid diver since 1969 and received NAUI
Instructor status in 1976. He earned a
BS in Biological Oceanography (1976). He
ran a scuba diving charter business in Key
Largo, Florida for
five years and then earned an MS in Geology (Carbonate Sedimentology,
1984). Since then, Doug has enjoyed a
career in petroleum exploration that has given him the opportunity to travel
and dive extensively around this fragile Earth.
He lived with his family in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia leading a petroleum
exploration effort in the Rub Al Khali Desert, the Great Empty Quarter, one of
the most remote frontiers on the planet from 1998 until retirement in 2016.
Doug and Elizabeth are now in Colorado Springs. Doug is devoting his time to
astronomy, astrogeology, and writing:
