Chuck Nicklin, diving pioneer and member of the International Diving Hall of Fame, has passed away. He was 95 years old.
Mr. Nicklin’s presence in the diving community spans decades and discipline in the underwater field. In the field of underwater cinematography, he is perhaps best known for contributing to many James Bond films, as well as Abyss and Abyss. The California native also co-founded several iconic organizations including San Diego Underwater Photography Association and Undersea Film Exhibition San Diego.
Condolences and fond memories are pouring out from all over the diving community. We were fortunate enough to speak with Chuck a few years ago about his legendary career as documented in Camera Man: Stories of my life and adventures as an underwater filmmaker.
