I'm looking for a phrase or an idiom to describe one's deep-seated passion for something, such as archaeology, Renaissance art, organized charity, Greenpeace, or similar to the following
- Whatever makes you tick:
something that motivates someone; something that makes someone behave in a certain way (TFD)
E.g.,
Sailing and seamanship are _____________ for Bob.
Bob's _________ are sailing and seamanship.

'What makes you tick', 'What turns you on', etc is a fairly common phrase construct in English.
You can modify the words used for their appropriateness in the conext - for example you wouldn't use 'what turns you on' in a formal context as it has sexual connotations.
Here's some suggestions:
What makes you tick - Fairly neutral, a bit casual.
What turns you on - Has sexual connotations, but not necessarily so. For example musicians might use this.
What floats your boat/What fills your sails/What lifts your rocket/What seasons your steak - I'm making these up to demonstrate that anything 'What verbs your noun' generally works, but might get a funny look. These are playful and informal.
What motivates you - Formal.
What you are passionate about - Slightly less formal.

The weird thing is that, in a modern business setting, "what you are passionate about" has absolutely no sexual connotation: It's completely denatured, and guys in suits throw it around without the least sense that traditionally it involves deeply felt emotion—or any emotion at all. That's why MBAs constantly say things like "At Ty-D-Bol we're passionate about clean toilets."

@SvenYargs: That's because they have no respect for others, themselves, or language, for that matter. A publisher once wrote to me: "I'm not crazy about your lead character's attitude towards scientists."

Quite old-fashioned, but perfect if you want a traditional approach with being dull.
