Hull Frogmen's Club

Our club owes its roots to the Hull Frogmen's Club. Below are photographs from Warren Stevenson and Garth Daddy showing Frogmen's Club members and possibly the club’s first dive boat in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
Warren, along with Reg Thompson, Brian “Chick” Verity and Garth Daddy, were founding members of the club. They dived with modified gas regulators and whatever cylinders they could obtain at the time.
