Peter Radsliff Memoir: “SCUBA: My Life Underwater”

When new member Peter joined Marin Scuba Club, he became our fifth author.

Others include Larry Clinton ( “The Complete Outfitting and Resource Book for Sport Diving” ), Chuck Ballinger (“An American Underwater Odyssey: 50 Dives in 50 States”), Ken Smith (“Tropical Ice: An Eco-Thriller”), and Gil Zeimer (“Scuba Storyteller: Mostly Humorous Tales by an Addicted AquaNut”).

Peter adds:
“Everyone dreams about growing up to be someone: a fireman, a pilot, an astronaut. This is the story of a boy, his love of the sea, and how he turned it into a life… before needing to leave it all behind.”

Here is what others thought:

“Fascinating, humorous, and well written, it is a great combination of on-the-dream-job training and high-adventure.” — Patricia McKenney-Tillman

“Captures the courage it takes to venture into unknown depths–through adventure, risk, and discovery. What makes his story extraordinary is how he carried that spirit forward, shaping the dive industry and beyond with the same passion that first drew him to the sea.” 
— Denise Rushing

“Divers say descent carries the weight of personal discovery. Peter not only navigates the underwater world, but also the tech world, weaving the two together through wonderful stories and personal reflections.” 
— Suzanne Ricca

“What fascinated me about Peter’s book was his depth of expertise gained through working for Bamboo Reef Dive Shop in San Francisco, then Oceanic in the East Bay over many years. ‘Scuba: My Life Underwater’ is a worthy exploration of what’s in this diver’s heart through his very well-crafted writing.” — Gil Zeimer
