Doug, I would have to recommend, Off the Wall- Dive Tales. Although it was
written by my wife, I still think it's a great book. She and I spent twenty
years traveling the world scuba diving. She has an interesting sense of
humor; her book contains a lot of it. But, she tears herself away from
laughing long enough to present facts about the places we traveled, some
background information and impressions.

Right now through September 20th, she's giving away five copies on
goodreads.com. Here's the link if you're interested.
