{"product_id":"9781477137970","title":"Hell Or High Water: Adventures Of A Scuba Instructor","description":"I learned to dive in the mid 70’s by reading a short book about diving. Then my brother told me to NOT hold my breath and swim. My first dive was a solo dive in a stone quarry in Indiana. The next few years I got formal training and worked through the ranks to instructor. I worked as a YMCA and PADI instructor in Florida for several years before going to the West coast to train instructors at PADI College.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  In the mid 80’s I was hired by Werner and Myra Kurn to work as the Director of Training at Ocean Enterprises in San Diego, and trained instructors at Ocean Enterprises in Guantanamo Bay Cuba.   \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  I worked as a PADI Instructor examiner for more than 20 years and have more than 5000 dives.","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47126194389232,"sku":"9781477137970","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781477137970_p0.jpg?v=1763611530","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781477137970","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
