Editor's Pick of the month

Off the Wall - Dive Tales

by Sue Webb

We support divers who turn their overseas dive trip tales into full-fledged books. Sue Webb has done that with her first offering, "Off the Wall." She takes readers around the world, from Australia to the Bahamas, with funny, insightful stories of her experiences with fellow travelers, dive crew, locals and some crazy cab drivers. Hair-raising times mixed with touching moments. You'll relate to a lot of Webb's experiences, or be inspired to take similar dive trips. "Off the Wall" is for sale on Kindle and in paperback.
