: Does anyone know the whereabouts of Lou Fead (Ol Easy Diver)

:The last I saw him was at Unexso on Grand Bahama Island. I tried a fax

:to Unexso but got no reply.

:Lou's book "Easy Diver" taught me, in a few short pages, more about

:diving than anything before or since. It is great reading if you can find a
copy.

:Please EMail me if you can help.

:Tom

Hello Tom,
I would have emailed you but your email address didn't show up on my server.

Yes I have a copy but no you can't have it<G>. I've now got two youngsters
who are in need of Lou's wisdom. If you contact the San Diego Diving Locker
you stand a chance of finding someone with an extra copy of Easy Diver. My
web site has a link to theirs, url below.

BTW, I was one of his advanced students when he was working on the original
draft back in the 70's.
Best Regards
Ron in San Diego

Sadly, Lou Fead has passed away to the great ocean in the sky. Here is the link to his obituary:

Unfortunately, the OP, Ron Fuller, predeceased Lou by 13.5 years:

I don't recall offhand if the official report was ever made public; my recollection was that he had been having some problems with his semi-closed rebreather and he was out on a solo test dive, so hypoxia was probably on the short list.

I stumbled upon this link while engaged in some nostalgic web surfing. So sorry to hear about the passing of your father. I remember diving with him (and you) so many years ago. I feel he taught me so much more than SCUBA.

I am sorry for your loss. I am better for having known him.

Much love!

*** A flash of memory. I ran into Lou many, many years ago in the Bahamas. I had his book and found it the best advice about diving I had received, until I met Bob Halstead in PNG. I think I can now tell that my nickname with Undercurrent and In Depth was "Easy Ed" ... a moniker that came for Lou Fead's wise approach to diving.

Going to give this a long shot. I found some pictures of my father, Michael F. Ida, diving on STAR II, off the coast of Catalina, in the 1960's. Mr. Fead is on a pic with my dad and I'm just trying to share information, pics, see if there are any of my dad out there. My best contact is txbob...@yahoo.com

Thank you.
