John Triggerfish nearly wound up dead at the bottom of the Indian Ocean. Unfortunately for many women and large succulent fruit he survived, and decided to further his diving education. This is a story about doing the dreaded instructor development course in the wild Yucatan peninsular. This is a story about valiance, integrity, true diving grit, and downing vast quantities of cheap tequila while being taught all the diving skills one could ever wish to know by the demi gods of the diving world. This is a story about Bull sharks and life in Sin City, Playa del Carmen, Mexico. This is a story about eventually gaining meaningful employment in the diving industry and finally Living the Dream. And no matter where you finally end up working, always watch out for the terrorists. Or is that the tourists? ...

John Triggerfish lost everything and decided to start a new life in paradise. It didn't quite work out that way, although the ladyboys were pretty interesting. This is his story about becoming a Padi diving professional and meeting all manner of characters on his travels around the wonderful Kingdom of Thailand. Then of course there's his relationship with all the women that he meets whist cruising around the beaches and bars. That's pretty interesting/disturbing. Add in a few nutters from Blighty and some of the best diving on the planet, and you've probably got the funniest book about scuba ever written. 232 Bars is NOT for the faint hearted. Please don't bother to read if easily offended.
