FIRST THE NAME:
It all started one late night in a bar in Toledo, Ohio also known as frogtown. After divemastering with
open water students, and in the period when Bad Frog Beer's logo was getting bad press from being
obscene, a friend started doodling on bar napkins. A diving frog logo was born. Since almost
everything in this industry is black, Renee started putting the logo on some of our gear to help identify
it, and the name stuck. One car vanity plate later, and various t-shirts and gear, and more gear -
It's just too hard to stop perpetuating the stupidity!
MARSHALL ALLAN:
I am a pharmacist living in Wauseon, Ohio. I have been diving since 1990 with my wife Renee and
various now good friends met thru diving. I purchased a video camera early on, and now various
upgrades later, I enjoy documenting the marvels underwater. My underwater footage has been shown
at Sandusky's Shipwrecks and Scuba, and Our World Underwater in Chicago. 2008 also had me
presenting at Beneath the Sea and Boston in 2009. My friend and partner Rick Kruzel, TDI tech dive
instructor and video producer in Toledo Ohio, has made complete programs featuring wrecks from
around the Great Lakes from my video footage. Trimix certified, I can now go deep enough to film the
incredible wrecks of the Great Lakes and remember to press the record button! Recently full cave
certified, cave video will be available when I have enough courage to carry the camera in there!
RENEE ALLAN:
I have been married to Marshall for over 30 years. We have 2 grown girls. I sew and quilt in my spare
time. I enjoy both fresh water and salt water diving. The diving and sewing has now intertwined into a
nautical-themed hobby. But my husband wants me to put a fish on everything! We have been to the
South Pacific, Caribbean, and Latin America. Everything from hammerhead sharks, mantas, to Great
Lakes shipwrecks have shown up in his videos and in my sewing. Recently trimix certified, I can enjoy
some of the "deeper" wrecks. I also have gotten the "cave" bug, and am cavern and intro certified.
