What happens when a fear of the ocean turns into a passion for scuba diving, a life in Grand Cayman and an eighteen-book adventure series?
In Episode 231, we chat with Nicholas Harvey, indie author, scuba diver and former NASCAR engineering manager. Nicholas shares his journey from being nervous of what lay beneath the surface to becoming a Divemaster and tech diver, and how his experiences underwater inspired his AJ Bailey mystery adventure series.
We talk diving, wrecks, writing, life in Grand Cayman, underwater statues, the people and experiences that inspire his stories, and how diving can completely change the direction of your life.
A fascinating conversation about adventure, creativity, changing careers and following your passions. If you love diving and a great story, this is one you won't want to miss.
