Vale Fred Nann

Sans Souci Dolphin Founder Fred Nann passed away yesterday after a long illness. Fred was 89. Fred was a remarkable man, being the eldest amongst a group of teenage swimmers he had the only driving licence that enabled the Dolphins to set off on many adventures into the Royal National Park and beyond. The Dolphin’s first Club President and Life Member, Fred after moving to Western Australia also became the first Australian to dive to 30m in an official attempt. Fred Nann is a true pioneer of spearfishing in this country.

Fred shared some of his memoirs with the Dolphins and is well worth reading. See link https://sanssoucidolphins.org/fred-nann

Gone, but you won’t be forgotten Fred. May you be diving with great fish and many Dolphins
