It's a journey of discovery, of connecting with the world beneath the surface, and of finding one's purpose in life.

And that's not all; you'll also hear about his 'bear blessings,' a unique ritual that signifies the power of curiosity.
But wait, there's more! In the climax of our discussion, we'll go heart-to-heart about Mario's noble goal to help children with disabilities learn to scuba dive.
