The Sarnia Underwater Club is proud to announce Ric Mixter as this month’s guest speaker. Ric will be giving his presentation “Storms of the Century.” This presentation will range from 1905 gale, a look at the 1913 Storm, the Armistice Day Storm and the modern wrecks, which will include RIC’s dive on the Edmund Fitzgerald.



Ric holds advanced certifications in both scuba diving and ice rescue. He served several years on the Saginaw County Underwater Rescue Team as a marine deputy/diver and was also diver/videographer for expeditions to the Edmund Fitzgerald and Carl D. Bradley.

Ric's underwater adventures are known to millions who watch his documentaries and news stories on television. Ric has donated some 30 shows to PBS and has also found world-wide audiences on the Vision Network and Outdoor Channel. Ric has also been featured as an on-camera researcher for the Discovery Channel and History Channel, and is also an award-winning news reporter, working for stations all across Michigan. He created Airworthy Productions in 2000 and continues to produce industrial and fundraiser videos fulltime as a videographer. Ric is also a private pilot, and has flight time in several vintage war birds. He was aboard the final B-52 flights from Michigan and also chronicled the Tuskegee Airmen in the Great Lakes state as well as our famous Rosie the Riveters at Willow Run.





Recently the Association for Great Lakes Maritime History has honoured Ric with the 2009 Award for Historic Interpretation! The committee noted "over the past 17 years, you have used your skills as a television reporter and multimedia producer to create many documentaries on Great Lakes shipwrecks. What has set those documentaries apart is your uncanny ability to locate shipwreck survivors and weave their stories, along with historical images and underwater video of shipwreck sites, into the documentaries."



I hope that you can make it out this meeting and as usual guests are always welcome. Again as has been the practice, some of us meet for dinner downstairs at the Ups and Downs at approximately 6:00 PM. The meeting will commence upstairs at 7:30 PM sharp. I will also have memberships forms and receipts available for those who need/want them.



If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me.
