Guys,
first, if this is the wrong place to post, I appologise and would ask the Mods to move to the right place.
As a few of you know I'm writing a book called Diving With legends. Actually writing isn't the correct word. I'm writing some but most of it is being done by the diver's themselves. I was lucky enough to ask people like Stan Waterman, Jacques Piccard, Philippe Cousteau, Richie Kohler, John Chatterton, James Delgado, Joe MacInnis, George Bass, Karl Shreeves, David Trotter, Dan Crowell, Graeme Hawkes to name a few, if they would tell me their story, and unbelievably, they said yes. It is just the coolest thing. I'm about 100 pages into what should become a 250 - 300 page book by the time it is finished. I did a preview of the first 100 pages I have compiled so far and thought people might like a look at how it is going. I have to fess up here and say that at the minute I have "nicked" a few images from the internet as I wait for photos from the contributors. Some are superb and I'm trying to track down the owners as I'd like to use them in the book. I'll take out those I can't get permission for and substitute others. So if any of you recognise any photos and know the owner please let me know how to contact them. I especially like the one of the jellyfish and the one in Stan Waterman's story but I can't source them.
Anyway, I put up an embryonic page at
DIVING WITH LEGENDS
where you can see the full list of confirmed contributors - I have a few more I'm hoping to snag
I designed the cover and did all the layout myself so it is particularly bad. I'm hoping that the cover will be a nice blue and have a silver embossed helmet and lettering and the inside should get completely redone by the graphics wizard. hopefully it will have the same production quality as the Doxa watch book I did.
Hope you enjoy the preview.
Pete
