Overview

Drawing on six decades spent in a variety of diving roles, David Strike's personal misadventures and occasional lapses in good judgement provided him with more than enough material for a regular magazine column; one that ran for many years in Asian Diver as well as other regional diving publications. This is a complete collection of the tales that featured in that column, along with some other whimsical scuba-diving-related notions that have crossed David's fevered brow from time to time. With an irreverent take on sometimes-serious diving issues - ranging from training and practical diving techniques, through to marine conservation, equipment and safety - it is easier to introduce this book by telling you what it is NOT about. Although containing references to diving's past, this is not a history book. Nor is it about: underwater photography, technical diving, health & fitness, physics, philosophy, equipment, training programmes, dive travel, marine life, the environment, political correctness, or any of the other topics covered in its pages. It is, in fact, nothing more than a collection of light-hearted commentaries peopled with largely fictitious characters. However, should you discover a little of yourself in its pages then it may well be time to give serious thought to returning to those old diving manuals gathering dust on your bookshelf.
