I was thrilled to see that several stories and notations were made about Frank Hammett on the Internet. And in addition there is an old black and white movie that Frank shot many years back while diving; you'll see him with his double hose regulator, etc.
Frank is the man that I was certified under, also Chesteen. Together Chesteen and I made many dives with Frank on his boat, "THE SHARK KILLER." We went out to restaurants with Frank and Dee and I was fortunate in diving with him in the cave off of Stuart, etc. This was always extra tough diving and in no way for anyone inexperienced. I have many photographs of Frank and I together as well as Chesteen with Frank and Dee, etc.
I had a pleasant surprise last year when I was reading National Geographic and noting a story they were carrying on Goliath Groupers--and lo and behold--there was Frank Hammett telling all about his old grouper days off Palm Beach.
If you are a diver I highly recommend that you go to this site "FRANK HAMMETT DIVER" and read about the early days of diving off of Palm Beach and some of what I have experienced while diving with him.
