Kohler's life long passion has been exploring the famous shipwrecks around the world, including the SS "Andrea Doria" and most recently, the RMS "Titanic". Diving from the Russian research vessel Keldysh, Kohler made multiple dives to m to ft|3786 in the MIR submersibles to explore the wreck site.

Kohler's work identifying a WWII German Submarine, U-869 off the coast of New Jersey has been the subject of several television documentaries and a new best selling book by Robert Kurson, "Shadow Divers". The New York Times bestseller will soon be a major motion picture by 20th Century Fox, directed and produced by Peter Weir.

Richie Kohler is also currently one of the hosts of television series "Dive Portal Magazine".
