This short story is about a recreational diver who spends a long
weekend in Key Largo, Florida at the Jules' Undersea Lodge.
Adventure and reflections follow.
Clues and evidence discovered at an underwater park in the Puget
Sound of Washington State lead divers and police officials to the
conclusion that the accidental death of a diver was no accident at
all. While the murder may be fictional, Bruce Higgins Underwater
Trails in Edmonds, WA is the largest volunteer diver constructed
and maintained underwater park on the west coast. The backgrounds
on the local sea creatures will bring new divers up to speed
quickly on cold water species, and hopefully the information will
be found to be interesting to seasoned divers. Hopefully, this book
is best read between dives, while crossing on a ferry, while on a
live aboard vessel, before visiting the Puget Sound, or just when
you feel like diving, but can't get the time off from the real
world.
'I Found My Tribe is inspiring, humbling and a picture of what love
really looks like' Marian Keyes An invocation to all of us to love
as hard as we can, and live even harder, I Found My Tribe is an
urgent and uplifting letter to a husband, family, friends, the
natural world and the brightness of life. Ruth's tribe are her
lively children and her filmmaker husband, Simon, who has Motor
Neurone Disease and can only communicate with his eyes. Ruth's
other 'tribe' are the friends who gather at the cove in Greystones,
Co. Wicklow, and regularly throw themselves into the freezing cold
water, just for kicks. 'The Tragic Wives' Swimming Club', as they
jokingly call themselves, meet to cope with the extreme challenges
life puts in their way, not to mention the monster waves rolling
over the horizon. 'Fitzmaurice tells her story in sparkling prose
that is as sinewy as her new sea-strengthened body, and as
admirable and boundless as her spirit', Sunday Times 'Uplifting and
life-affirming' Stylist
The Missing Ones is the true account of the disappearance of
Blanche and Russell Warren. The young hard working couple
disappeared in 1929, seemingly without a trace while drive from
Port Angeles to their cabin near Forks, Washington. At the cabin
eagerly awaiting their arrival, were their two sons, age 12 and 14.
An investigation by the Sheriff's Department failed to find the
Warrens. However, clues led investigators to the belief that the
Warren's had driven into Lake Crescent. The case was largely
forgotten until 1954 when a scuba diving club stumbled upon the
story. In 2001, they passed the story on to National Park Rangers
and divers stationed at Olympic National Park. This is the true
story of how the Warrens disappeared, the 1929 investigation, how
the dive club found the story in 1954 and what they did to try to
solve the case and how the Park Rangers and dive team finally
solved the case in 2004.
