Long Time No Sea - A Look at Life Through the Mask of a Scuba Diver

This book is an interwoven collection of anecdotes plucked from journals and scuba diving dive logs that follows a path that steers through a crushed dream, loss, despair, anguish, and reconnection. Each story closes with a take-away message and climaxes with big-picture perspectives that became a life's rudder as I navigate through my journey. I learned how to thrive from what I gleaned through my interactions with different people and the life in Planet Ocean.

After addiction took his partner and ended their adventure of love and romance, Jeff drifted alone and without purpose, surviving misfortunes, catastrophes, and despair until he stumbled into a long-lasting relationship. While driven by a forty-year passion for scuba diving, he gained life-guiding wisdom from an unexpected source-Planet Ocean.

In discovering an intimate connection between man and the world below, Jeff realized he was part of an immensely harmonious universe and he learned how to easily connect with anyone, anywhere.

In this memoir, you will meet more people than fish. Travel with him through Mexico, the Caribbean, and remote Central America. Jeff takes you into the depths of the sea, through a hurricane, a heart attack, and the emotional and spiritual ups and downs with which we all wrestle. His story could be similar to yours-even if you've never traveled or put on a scuba-diving mask.
