In 1997 Dr Robert Schuster Bruce was involved with helping two friends set up a team to row a boat across the Atlantic from Tenerife to Barbados. It was the first ever Chay Blythe Atlantic challenge race. He worked with a with a team of physiotherapists dieticians psychologists and fundraisers.

They rowed non-stop two hours on and two hours off for 73 days. They were well-prepared and looked in fine shape on arrival in Barbados. 

" The two years it took to prepare demonstrated that with the right team behind you ordinary performance can be improved to outstanding performance. My involvement inspired me to apply the same principle of maximising performance to medical practice. Ocean health was launched that same year with a view to providing this help and philosophy to our customers as an extension to existing healthcare services. Ocean Health intends to continue to develop a range of services accessible to the community we live in. Any feedback is welcome and I hope you enjoy and benefit from the Ocean health experience".
