Tony,
Welcome to Rebreatherworld.com!
Do you know who in the US sells yuour book and has it in stock?
I checked Amazon and they say it will take 4-7 weeks.

Again, welcome on board!

Cheers,
RBN

I ordered it from Tony directly (I believe) just a couple of weeks ago and it came within just a few days. Haven't had a chance to read it but it's taunting me from the shelf. Go ahead and click below and order it, it'll get to you before you know it.

Hi one and all.

I was put onto this site by a Ray Mansell. He has just read my book and told me he heard about it on a thread on here somewhere, so here I am having a nose about.

.

G'day Mate, good on ya, must work on flicking the day job myself. Good Old Ray, he's one of Noo Zulund's secret weapons! You must work your way down here - got some OOOORsom diving here but don't spread it around, 'kay?

Now, where the hell did I leave that book about that RN diver nutter..........

Scary,

I just have read the last page of your book and here you are. Enjoy the Rebreather World exerience. I am still laughing at the description of someone who had a problem with their backside. Described as having a ring like a dragons nostril...priceless.

Do you mean you read only the last page, Or you've just finished it? Just curious?

Where was that? I'm having trouble getting them out there to the States. I know you won't all want to pay the postage from Blighty. Was it Sheridan Books by any chance? Diver
They are in the US.

Cheers Pat.
Tony Groom here. Glad you enjoyed it. Where in the world are you? I'm trying to figure out where it has reached. Don't say Portsmouth (Where I am)!

If you order it from me (above) I'll sign it, so in years to come it's be worth. . . Oooh many cents more than it is now! I understand Sheridan have some. Diver

Welcome to the site Tony,

I received your book for Christmas and couldn't put the thing down!

This site has a lot of knowledgeable people on it, I'm sure any questions you have will be answered pretty quickly.

Enjoy,

John

John

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Could you do me a small favour? Would you please leave me a review on Amazon? It all helps.

I will have a lot of questions, the re-breathers we used in the Navy, were so simple, even a young sailor like me couldn't get it wrong. Well, not too often.
Since I finished "Diver" I've really got the bug for writing, and am now 32, 000 words into my first novel. What's it about? You'll never guess. . . An ex Royal Navy Diver no less. Well, it's all I know!

The very first lines have our hero, if you like, diving in about 10 m of water, on a re-breather on pure oxygen. It's a military sensitive area, where he's not meant to be, so ditches the set on the bottom, upon hearing the approach of a fast launch, and swims back up to his yacht.
When he clambers out of the water, and on to the bathing platform at the rear, he gets onto a towel and gets his boat moving as quickly as possible. As we all know, this is quite simple to do and there would be no proof for anyone looking around, that he had been diving, because there would be no equipment on board.

The thing is I've got him using a simple CDBA, and really I think I should update him a little. Maybe I need that to happen to me as well!

I am so out of touch with re-breathers, but I don't really know where to start.

I'll get there.

Tony

Tony,

Managed to read the whole tomb...most excellent it was to. I was crying with laughter at some of the antics of you and your fellow men. I look forward to the next one!
