“Scuba Storyteller: Mostly Humorous Diving Tales by an Addicted AquaNut” contains 65 stories such as, “Warm Memories of Hypothermia”, “My First Time”, “Low Anxiety: Getting Narked in Belize’s Great Blue Hole”, “The Sun Also Burns”, “The Day I Rode a Manta Ray”, “Maui March Madness––Honeymooning With Humpbacks”, “Jaws at 50: This Shark Still Has Legs”, “My Dive Buddy Wears Diapers”, and much more.
“Gil’s stories aren’t just stories––they’re underwater adventures disguised as essays,” says William Cline, Publisher, Scuba Diving Industry Magazine, in the book’s Foreword. “He doesn’t just write about diving; he writes about life through diving. And if you’re lucky, you get to see the ocean and even your business––through his unique, comedic, and deeply human lens.”
Says Cline, “If you’re a dive retailer, a liveaboard operator, an instructor, or just a passionate diver looking for something more entertaining than another fish ID guide––this is the book for you. Gil writes the way we wish we all could speak: candid, clever, and connected to the soul of diving.”
