We’d love to read it Dominic. Email contact@worldtravelfamily.com and we’ll figure out how we can get a copy. We’re in the jungles of Borneo right now but it will be possible in a few weeks. Thanks.

May I submit my new book about my uncle’s remarkable diving career for review?
Salvamar is a biographical novel detailing my uncle’s colourful life in recreational and commercial diving, set between 1970 and 1984. This included salvaging an undiscovered shipwreck out of Newhaven harbour (which the story increasingly revolves around – see attached article), swanning around Marseille or Brighton in his Maserati, surviving near fatal diving incidents and working up to 300m under the North Sea or Southern Atlantic. Despite the subject matter, I’ve tried to make the book as much fun and likeable as my uncle was; to this end, the book begins with him stealing his boat back from Spanish customs! And there is even a love story in there too.

Salvamar was written in consultation with the very kind assistance of former diving colleagues, dive supervisors, salvage experts and review of his dive log books – (according to these, his deepest dive was 290m in Brazil). So far, Salvamar has been shortlisted for Historical Diving Society’s Dr. Art Bachrach Literary Award 2020 and was reviewed in the February issue of UK Diver magazine.

If you think Salvamar would be of interest to your readers/subscribers, I will gladly furnish you with a review copy.

Dominic

Will take a look thanks. This post is badly in need of an overhaul.

She won a NOGI and is probably the most badass diver on the planet.
