Book Excerpts

  • People come to the boat prepared to dive, with all their equipment in a boat bag. One day, though, we got a call to go to the Holiday Inn beach to pick up a family of four divers who had checked in and shown their certification cards to the dive shop the day before. We lowered the boat ladder to the beach, but could not believe our eyes: the only family of four coming towards the boat had boxes of newly purchased gear under their arms. I’m not kidding! The mask in a box, the fins in a box, the regulator in a box, the depth gauge in a box. . .

  • The KonTiki was a rum punch/live band double-decked glass-bottom party boat. The captain said the most common question was “What deck is the glass bottom on?”. . .

  • . . . One diver was SO excited. He and his buddy were standing behind me, discussing the dive. “Did you see what I saw?” “No, what was it?” “It was either ... [pausing to think] a crab or a shark, I’m not sure which!” --- I wondered if it was safe to put these guys back in the water.

Remember, these are only samples. There's LOTS more fun in the book. Order your copy here!

Reader Comments

  • “If you have the ability to laugh at yourself, as well as the foibles of other tourist divers, you will love this book!! It is a hilariously funny account of Gay Morse’s personal encounters with diver tourists over the years. You will also find, sprinkled here and there, some helpful advice, which you can apply to make you a better diver. It is also a delightful account of the plusses and minuses of life on a small island. ENJOY !!!!” - Feodor Pitcairn,  Producer of PBS “Ocean Wilds” series

  • "Gay’s achievement in writing this book, is not only a personal triumph, but an accurate story well told, with humour, insight and with a well-deserved passion for this precious gem of an island in the Caribbean – Little Cayman.” - Former Little Cayman residents; Bob and Janet Freemantle, Isle of Wight, U.K., England
