FROGMEN
Journeys With Captain Jacques-Yves Cousteau and the Crew of Calypso
By Richard E. Hyman
Richard Hyman is a professional SCUBA diver, photographer, navigator and a certified aquanaut.
He wrote and self-published the book FROGMEN, his personal account of diving with Captain Jacques-Yves Cousteau aboard the famed research vessel Calypso in locations including Canada, Mexico, Belize and Martinique. Richard also dove on the Civil War’s USS Monitor shipwreck 230 feet deep off the coast of Cape Hatteras, NC.
FROGMEN is an inspiring true adventure written in the voice of a young man who pays homage to Cousteau, one of the great explorers and visionaries of all time and who was passionate about he called the water planet.
Cousteau’s alliance with NASA afforded Richard the opportunity to work at NASA Headquarters in Washington, where Richard interned for Rusty Schweickart, Apollo 9’s lunar module pilot and backup commander of the first Skylab mission. Their focus was commercial applications of Landsat’s space-based remote sensing data, which included hydrology, oceanography and marine resources.
Richard's career has been in business, spanning both corporate and entrepreneurial, primarily in telecommunicatons and technology. He led worldwide sales for GE Capital’s former satellite communications company and was a private equity investment professional for GE Equity. Richard co-founded a venture that combined Siemens sensors and probes with terrestrial wireless to monitor recreational water quality. Richard is passionate about water; from both the commercial as well as the environmental perspective. Mobile: (347) 404-0783, Office (203) 557-4794 richardehyman@gmail.com www.richardehyman.com
