30 YEARS OF PUBLISHING
30 years of publishing
In 1985 I wrote my first underwater dive guide. A humble look at diving along the North East Coast. Thanks to some unexpected publicity from the BBC, it was to kick off a career beyond my wildest dreams.
2016 see the 30th anniversary of that first publication, and to celebrate, I am producing no less than 20 shipwreck guides in E-BOOK PDF format, and making them available to all divers absolutely free.
The pilot Title “The Tile Wreck, her True Story” was downloaded in 35 countries in the first month of publicaton.We have a world wide audience and readership-despite the fact they are only published in English
This has been made possible due to the outstanding support of our Sponsors; AP DIVING, APEX MARINE, SEA & SEA, CAMERA’S UNDERWATER, OTTER DRYSUITS, MYFLEX HOSES and the EGYPTIAN STATE TOURIST AUTHORITY.
Ten of the titles spotlight the Egyptian Red Sea, 4 detailing the areas of Suez, Safaga, Tiran and the South, while the Tile wreck, The Russian Wreck, Rosalie Moller and Thistlegorm each get their own volume. “They Never Came Back” features ships built on the Tyne, which have found their final resting place in Egypt, and “Egypt’s Top 20 Wrecks” showcases the very best of Egyptian Shipwrecks.
Ten other titles cover various collections of shipwrecks worldwide; Truk Lagoon, Palau, Pacific, Malta, the Maldives, Leros, Bushuanga and shortly Subic Bay.

THE TILE WRECK HE TRUE STORY (SILENCING THE BANTINITES)
This is the “pilot” which kicked the whole project off- and was intended as a one off, it’s purpose to challenge all those who said “you’re wrong”-wrong because of who I am not because of fact .Only 46 pages but presents all the facts surrounding the identity and events of the sinking of the TILE WRECK-THE MV MARCUS, which sank on AB NU HAS pre 1980. The book, launched in 2007, threw down a gauntlet to the sceptics /protagonists, labelled Bantinites by our team members. To this day, despite its popularity, no one has disagreed with the books findings. A classic tale of marine insurance fraud

One novelist demanded the diving press expose me a s a fraud- so they came along- as we carried out a week long investigation. A trawler? a cargo ship? a fishing boat?- A glimpse of the James Bond cold war era. Read and believe
