Those of us around the Sacramento area may be interested in a show on KVIE 6 (PBS channel) on June 1 at 8pm. The title is "Under the Sea with Al Giddings"; it promises to show 30 years of underwater film making. Probably will show up on Bay Area PBS as well some time. I do not know of Al Giddings. Any one have information on him?

He'd been in the Bay Area photo scene since way before I was a lab tech at Rapid Color in SF back in the 70s, when he used to have some of his stuff processed there.

He was the original (I believe) owner of Bamboo Reef and an awesome diver that contributed a great amount.

Is he related to Pete Giddings, the TV weather guy?
Al Giddings is a long-time presence in the underwater community. He has been called the greatest American underwater cinematographer and the American Cousteau. His movie credits go back to the mid 70's and include The Deep, The Abyss, For Your Eyes Only, etc. He and Dr. Sylvia Earle were partners in a variety of projects starting in the 1970's. I don't have to explain who she is... do I?
