Beskrivelse
Ben Thompson’s journey with the sea began early, leading him to a life beneath the waves filled with adventure and discovery. By twenty-five, he was diving some of the world’s most stunning coral reefs and earning a living doing what he loves.
A captivating memoir of a diver’s global adventures and the sea’s irresistible pull.
From a young age, Ben Thompson felt drawn to the ocean and its mighty force. This vibrant and heartfelt story follows a boy who knew the sea was his true path and chased that dream relentlessly. By the time he was twenty-five, Ben was working as a dive instructor in some of the most breathtaking locations across the globe.
His diving career has taken him far and wide-from sailing the remote corners of South East Asia on local yachts to off-roading through sub-Saharan Africa in search of new dive spots. Ben experiences the world through a diver’s lens, encountering extraordinary moments along the way.
Among his adventures, he dives a rare vertical wreck at a secret site just as it catastrophically bursts its gas tanks, sparking an international incident. He’s been held at gunpoint by a militia in the Philippines, rescued by pirates in Indonesia, and joined America’s largest naked diving group in the Caicos Islands.
This thrilling tale will captivate divers, travelers, seafarers, and adventurers alike. It’s not just an escape from the ordinary but also a heartwarming love story, as Ben’s patient partner and dive companion, Vic, shares in his incredible journeys around the world.
