    Lost Wife, Saw Barracuda Book

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

    This book has been a fun read. The author leaves the rat race to instruct and guide in the Red Sea. Once you read why the book is named as it is it will make you laugh.

    Not only did it make me LMAO, but it gave an inside look at being an instructor in charge of multiple levels of divers and skills...or lack thereof, and numerous credentials needed just to get the dive boat out of port just to go to a site. I have read it about 5 times and enjoy it so much. My extreme disappointment is that it isn't in paper format, so I cannot give it as gifts. I left a review on Amazon.com too. John needs to come out with volume two!!!! He has certainly racked up more to write about, also he is a technical diver too. Enuf said, I highly recommend this book, so enjoyable!
    If I am in the water I feel fabulous. If I am here, it is a close second. If I am in neither place, I could be cranky.

    And if I'm diving local, I will be with my buddies from Inland Northwest Divers......come on over and check us out on our community FaceBook page......push the button.......you know you're curious what freshwater divers do.......

    Is it really in print now? I just bought the kindle version but would much rather have a paper copy.

    Nice list, there's a couple of those I don't have yet.
    "Quotes are inspiration for the uninspired" Richard Kempf

    "Control is the new deep" Eponym

    40ish days till Kona. I lost count.
