Preferred Citation James Stewart Papers, SMC 29. Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego. Biography James Ronald Stewart (b. 1927) first experienced diving as a teenager in the off the coast of San Diego, and proved to be an adept diver from a young age. In 1951 he was inducted into the Bottom Scratchers, one of the first free-diving and clubs in the country; the admittance rate of the club was notoriously low, and required that applicants achieve such feats as diving 30 feet and retrieving three abalone in a single dive. Like other divers during the 1950s, Stewart was introduced to the advent of largely through experimentation, trial and error, and collaboration with other enthusiasts. He received a B.S. in Botany from Pomona College in 1953 and his teaching credential from San Diego State University in 1958. He also studied graduate-level marine botany at both USC and the University of Hawaii. Stewart's career began as an independent diving consultant and contractor. During the late 1950s he conducted dives as a part-time research diver for the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, traveling to such places as Eniwetok Atoll and Mexico, and assisted Conrad Limbaugh and Andy Rechnitzer with the SIO diving training program. In 1958 he was hired as Field Director for the SIO Kelp Project, and in 1959 he co-discovered the underwater sandfalls at Cabo San Lucas alongside Conrad Limbaugh and Wheeler North. He was named Diving Officer in 1960 after Limbaugh's untimely death, and went on to host the first statewide class on scuba diving at UC Santa Barbara. During the 1960s Stewart spearheaded the initiative to standardize and protocol for the University of California and created the University Guide for in 1963. He then went on to develop diving training programs for the National Park Service and the Office of Polar Programs in Antarctica. Stewart was very involved in diving groups and associations, and guided the standardization of diving safety and protocol across the country. He co-founded the Los Angeles Council of Diving Clubs, the San Diego Council of Divers, the San Diego County Underwater Search and Recovery Program and the San Diego County Coroner's Scuba Death Investigation Committee. He also served as a member of the National Association of Underwater Instructors and the State of California Advisory Board on Underwater Parks and Reserves. James Stewart continued to serve as SIO Chief Diving Officer until his retirement in 1991.
