North Shore Frogmen
Guest
The North Shore Frogmen and Undersea Divers Inc. of Beverly proudly invite you to a Stan Waterman Symposium April 23rd, 2009 at 8:00pm @ The Beverly Golf and Tennis Club, 134 McKay st, Beverly Massachusetts.
Stan Waterman has been at the forefront of scuba diving since its inception as a recreational sport both in this country and throughout the world. His attraction to the underwater world began as a schoolboy in 1936 when he first dived with a Japanese Ama diver's mask in Florida. In the 1950's, inspired by Jacques Cousteau's revolutionary invention of the Aqua Lung, Mr. Waterman acquired the first one in Maine and went on to pioneer scuba diving in that state.
In 1968 he collaborated with Peter Gimbel on the classic shark film, Blue Water, White Death. He was associate producer and underwater cameraman during the seven-month long production.
However, he may be best know for his work in commercial film. He was co-director of underwater photography and second unit in the production of The Deep, based on Peter Benchley's best-selling novel. In other collaborations with his close friend and neighbor, Mr. Benchley, he was responsible for ten years' worth of productions for ABC's "American Sportsman Show". More recent productions include documentaries for ABC's "Spirit of Adventure" series and the "Expedition Earth" series on ESPN.
Stan will use various films, pictures and publications to discuss the evolution of underwater photography, video and film making. Tickets are on sale now from North Shore Frogmen members and at Undersea Divers, 42 Water Street, Beverly, MA at the cost of only $5.00.
Stan will have personalized copies of his latest book for sale and there will be some very exciting raffle prizes. The Beverly Golf & Tennis Club will have a cash bar available at the venue. Social hour starts at 7 PM. There is a fine Italian Restaraunt and pub on site! Check out: cafediciannove
