More About Frazier Nivens

Frazier Nivens has been in the diving industry most of his life. He began at an early age imitating Lloyd Bridges character on the popular underwater adventure series “Sea Hunt” by swimming through the make believe cave “coffee table” with his mask, ping pong ball snorkel, fins, and wet suit “footy pajamas” and dreaming of the underwater adventures in his future.  “I purchased my first regulator, tank, wetsuit and underwater camera all at the same time when I read a book that taught me how to dive and made my very first dives at a lake in Tennessee”.   Today he’s now an active teaching status PADI Course Director #4041 living in Key Largo, Florida and has been a PADI member for over 50 years.

 

Frazier Nivens, shot his first underwater video in 1984 in Rum Cay Bahamas with a housing made of plexiglass, a couple of O rings and a huge full size VHS video camera. Frazier was there at the start up of the diving operation, Rum Cay Diving Club in Rum Cay, Bahamas back in 1979 and was the Director of Diving Operations there

Frazier later went on to manage major diving operations in the Bahamas for Neal Watson’s Undersea Adventures and Stuart Cove’s diving operation in Nassau, Bahamas. In November of 1990, Frazier started up Nassau Scuba Centre, a PADI 5 Star Dive Center and then developed it into one of the finest operations in Nassau. He grew the operation into a PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Center and then earned his own Course Director rating.

Frazier has worked with many of the PADI Headquarters staff on various projects, including a Semi-Closed Circuit Rebreather orientation for Drew Richardson, Julie Taylor, Karl Shreeves, James Morgan and Mark Caney.

Frazier was introduced to film by Canadian Filmmaker Producer John Stoneman whose award winning series, the "Last Frontier" and "Ocean Mosaic" series was aired on Discovery Channel. Frazier says that "Working with John Stoneman inspired me and shaped my life. He showed me the way and gave me years of experience working with him. He handed me my first underwater film camera and housing then let me shoot my first reel of film. “Thank you John! You allowed me to film dives and dive the dives that other divers only dream about doing".

After leaving the Bahamas in 1999, he moved to Key Largo and was Ocean Divers, a PADI 5 Star Career Development Center’s Course Director and then continued his own business, Frazier Nivens, Ocean Imaging Inc. specializing in the finest in Underwater film productions.
