How it Started…

Aqua Kids was created by George A. Stover III, a professional TV producer, videographer and scuba diver. While filming underwater documentaries all over the world, he noticed the oceans beginning to decline, and decided to use his profession and influence to educate people about this alarming trend. He realized that to make lasting change, he had to reach the kids and teens of the world. So he and his team gathered the first group of “Aqua Kids” and shot the pilot for a new TV show in the Bahamas in 2000. It took 5 years for networks to warm up to the idea of kids swimming with sharks and crawling through swamps… but in 2005, full seasons of Aqua Kids began airing, and the show ran in syndication all over the country for 13 seasons.

Over our history there have been several memorable hosts and dozens of talented young cast members, who have literally grown up on the show. While traveling with us, they learned how to produce TV segments, write promos, do stand-ups and interview scientific experts. Their enthusiasm and energy were a testimony to our hope for a greener future.

It has been our privilege to bring this message of conservation and awareness to kids, teens and adults everywhere, and educate them to create a healthier and more sustainable planet for all.
