[Hawkwood]

As a kid I remember reading a number of his books.

 

[supergaijin]

Dang- that man seemed to live for ever. Maybe that means I finally have a chance with Lotte?

Legend.

 

[regulator bj]

One of the greatest pathfinders, sadly missed

 

[Mr.X]

He lived a full life. When I was a kid I wished I were Hans Hass.

 

[koozemani]

Sad to hear. I have a number of his books I haven't gotten around to reading yet.

 

[trapezus]

He introduced the Red Sea to World with his Rolleimarin.

 

[DCBC]

Dang- that man seemed to live for ever. Maybe that means I finally have a chance with Lotte?

... I see. It's like that is it?

 

[John C. Ratliff]

I put a link to his film Diving the Red Sea on the Vintage Scuba Supply Diving Media web page. It's in German, and in black and white, but has some very beautiful images too.

By the way, the current issue of The Journal of Diving History, from the Historical Diving Society, has a lengthy article titled The Development of the Hans Hass Rollimarin System. It provides context to the contributions of Dr. Hass.
