“Every time you go into the water with another black diver, it’s a family reunion.” Black Godfather of Scuba follows the extraordinary life and mission of Dr. Albert Jose "Doc" Jones, founder of the National Association of Black Scuba Divers. When his team of divers found the Henrietta Marie, the first lost slave ship ever to be recovered, he dedicated himself to finding and recovering the remains of others, and to making sure those lost souls would never be forgotten.
