Dave's autobiography tells how, from simple beginnings, he manages
to serve an apprenticeship in engineering, before deciding it
wasn't for him and embarking on an adventure underwater. Firstly,
with a bunch of friends salvaging scrap metal from shipwrecks,
before blagging his way into the world of offshore oilfield deep
diving. It was intended to be a short-term thing to make the
deposit on a house and turned into 40 years in the industry,
culminating in becoming the offshore manager of some major oilfield
construction projects around the world. Dave takes us through his
life's journey, near-death experience and involvement with several
major incidents. He explains how it feels to live part of your life
in the claustrophobic environment of a saturation diver, and
reflects on some of the politics and events that occurred in this
unique industry. He reflects on life's lessons as they presented
themselves. The book is interspersed with anecdotes and amusing
tales of and from the people he met along the way, characters, who
come alive with their witty asides and darkly comic humour. Away
from work, Dave and his wife, Marion, travel the world together,
and their travels are heady and packed with adventure, as they ski,
kayak and dive in idyllic locations. Whether bungee jumping in New
Zealand or cycling across Central America, Dave and Marion are
never afraid to take on a challenge.
