Lost Wife, Saw Barracuda: True Stories of a Sharm El Sheikh Diving Instructor
By John Kean

Downloaded this a few weeks ago -- as far as I can tell, at least on Amazon, it's Kindle-only. If you have one though it's a pretty enjoyable read about the professional side of diving. Good stories, although the best by far is the one that gave the book it's title (which I won't spoil).

Only complaints outside of the usual spattering of Kindle typos (which normally I'd excuse but being Kindle-only seem to be a bit of poor editing) are it's more of a highlight reel of stories and as such doesn't color in a lot of what I would have found interesting -- i.e., what it's like adjusting from his prior life in England to Egypt (besides just crazy taxi drivers).
 
Very light fast enjoyable read. Reinforces why I never want to go pro in the dive industry and why the Red Sea/Egypt/Sharm are on my bucket list. Looking to read Mr. Keans book on the SS Thistlegorm.
