New Book: “Black Man Under the Deep Blue Sea: Memoirs of a Black Commercial Diver in Southeast Asia”
I heard about this book earlier this week and thought it might be fun to share with you folks. “Black Man Under the Deep Blue Sea…” is a memoir written by Tony Wells, a commercial diver who’s traveled the world looking for sunken treasure.
During his career, Wells survived plenty of dangerous excitement, including two near-drownings, a deadly diving disease, illegal imprisonment and several treasure hunts for sunken gold. His memoir is written in a friendly, unassuming tone in which he happily recounts deep sea adventures and the wisdom they granted him across 19 countries.
“My message is that no matter what race or gender you are, don’t let ignorant or jealous people put you down or tell you what you ‘can’ and ‘can’t’ do,” Wells says. “Anything is possible, so if you want to do something, just go out and do it.”
Tony Wells resides in Saint Petersburg, Florida. He is also the author of “Shipwrecks & Sunken Treasure in Southeast Asia.” He has participated in several treasure hunts, most notably a two-year search for a 500-year-old Portuguese ship. It was during another treasure hunt that Wells and a friend found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time and were illegally detained by some corrupt policemen in Indonesia until a hefty bribe freed them from jail.
For an authentic read, full of truly exotic adventure, plenty of nail-biting suspense and honest humor, look no farther than “Black Man under the Deep Blue Sea” to take you into incredible excitement, far beyond the realms of ordinary life.
Check out “Black Man Under the Deep Blue Sea: Memoirs of a Black Commercial Diver in Southeast Asia” on Amazon for only $19.99 - ISBN# 9781424174225.
