Acknowledged by Royalty
Scott was acknowledged by the Sultan of Brunei, his Highness Hassanal Bolkiah, for his efforts to save Brunei's reefs by saving sharks from China's shark finning industry. The loss of sharks in Brunei was so devastating none could be found and many other species of reef inhabitants were gone as well. Scott dove with officials and gave numerous talks. Now Brunei protects all sharks by law and both the shark population and the entire coral ecosystem is returning and the reefs have become substantially more healthy.
Actions not Words
Acknowledged by Royalty
Working as an undersea politician and warm educator, Scott had the great privilege of diving with Sultanates, government cabinet members and the Brunei media to show the differences of healthy reefs with sharks and terribly depleted reefs due to a lack of sharks. In appreciation of Scott's efforts he was invited to become a citizen of Brunei and emissary of reef conservation and develop a Brunei military dive program to help monitor the reefs and protect them from overfishing.
Honest Media
Acknowledgement
Reporters from the Brunei Times and other media accompanied Scott during his expedition where he was able to show the high value of sharks, healthy reefs for ecotourism with great success.

Acknowledgement
The Asia Pacific Brands Foundation Laureate awarded to Scott for his work in Undersea Exploration and Environmental Conservation in 2012. Scott was recommended by members of the Royal cabinet, many of which he had the honor of diving with personally to show them in person what human impacts are destroying our world's coral reefs.
Save The Seas Program
Scott working with Luminox Mondaine developed the Save The Seas program in Asia and invited numerous organizations, countries and educational institutions to come dive with him in an effort to inspire conservation. Diving Sipidan reefs researching and filming the affect of Shark Finning to the coral reefs proved to be extremely gratifying and beneficial
The Sharing of Hearts
Luminox supported an exploration series by Scott in Malaysia assessing the reef condition and Shark Fishing with dozens of reporters and scientists from several countries. Several laws were written to protect sharks shortly afterwards and numerous organizations re-focused in shark conservation in several countries. Scott, to this day is deeply honored to have been a part of this epic moment in time and this movement continues to grow as Scott gave the project to the world and claimed no ownership. The concept continues to grow across the world effortlessly on it's own now
