Known by divers internationally as the Pioneer of the Pioneers, Hans Hass started his diving career in the 1930s. He was the first free-swimming film maker to film and photograph sharks, manta rays, and whales in their natural environment. A prolific writer, Hass had published six books on diving by 1950. He left the underwater world in 1960 and was largely forgotten by the diving industry. Hans met Santa Barbara-based diving historian Leslie Leaney in 1997 and they formed a partnership that led to a revival of interest in Hans’ pioneering career. In 1998 Leslie and Ed Stetson brought Hans and his wife Lotte to Santa Barbara for a film festival at the Arlington honoring his career. The film festival was used as the climax of the film The Man Who Discovered the Sea, but the film was never released in America. In this program Leslie will present the Santa Barbara residents and the background involved in the Arlington film festival and will show the complete movie.
