Robert Cave Sr.

Bob was my teacher in the tanks at the college of oceaneering. He was fair and if we messed up and did pushups he did them alongside us. I will never forget his boot atop the 11-foot tank ladder the day I had to pass breathing from a free flowing reg. I had a lot on my mind from back home and could not master it. If I stepped out of the tank I would flunk. So every time I came up the ladder coughing and gagging and angry his boot was there, refusing to let me climb out. "I've got all...

I loved this man he was my dive instructor at college of oceaneering Wilmington ca. He was a great human being who took a special liking to me and I to him. Rest In Peace master chief

Bob Cave, it was an honor to be taught by you. You broke me and rebuilt me in the ways I needed to navigate these dark waters... I'll always have ya pushing me past the point of docile apathy. I gotta apologize for giving ya any aggravation or frustration. You and I both know where to apply those. I have deep respect for you brother. Can't wait to see you wherever we end up!

It was an Honor and Privilege to work with Master Chief Bob Cave while attending College of Oceaneering and later as a Sat Diver.

Very sorry to hear about MC's passing. I had the honor of learning from him at the College of Oceaneering class of Feb '01. One of the finest men I have ever met.
My condolences to his family.

You will be missed Bobby. It was an Honor to work with you for four years. You were my mentor, friend and hero. I will endeavor to be half the man you were.
