Lindy Thomas and Jordan KleinMiami, Fl 1954 The man on my left is noted underwater photographer and director Jordan Klein. Jordan's credits include the underwater shots in the James Bond movie "Thunderball" and all the Flipper TV series underwater sequences. Jordan and I made several expiditions to the Bahamas to spearfish, explore and photograph. He developed water tight cases for cameras and detonation spearheads to kill sharks. In those days I could dive to 65 or 70 feet and spend a minute or so down there holding my breath. Jordan married Jackie Gleason's producer, a lovely girl, with whom we went diving on occasion. I got Jordan into flying and he bought a Grumman. I believe it was a Widgeon? I am not sure. I flew it and it was an amphibian 4 place with a pusher prop.
