Something of a local legend in the dive arena here on the North Shore, Fred has been diving as far back as Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) in Sea Hunt. He shared his unique take as an eye witness to the history of diving, dive equipment evolution as well as the politics and personalities within the commercial scuba diving industry going further back than most of us can remember and before many of us were even born.

Skipper of the dive charter boat 'Easy Diver' at Cape Ann Marina in Gloucester, Fred also presented two very brief videos:

"Going with the Flow" very short takes on diving in frigid conditions among the ice flows in winter and...

"Invasion" a 20 minute short that was Fred's contribution to Barbara Warren's Salem Sound Coast Watch initiative to make the public aware of the extent to which Invasive Species have colonized our local waters.
