Then the burly one reached for my arms and began tying them in clove hitches around toy body. That’s when I passed out. I don’t know how long I was unconscious, hut when came to it was morning and I was lying back on my couch again. A copy of the proposed Bill was on my chest and I started to focus my eyes on a shrimp boat porthole I had hanging on my wall. “Damn!’ I said. ‘Must’ve been a dream.” I thought about it for a while longer and then dismissed it. Something like that can’t happen in the good ole U.S. of A. It’s comforting to know that we as responsible citizens won’t ever let it happen here. Will we? |

As promised last issue, this time we’re featuring photographer, diver, raconteur Don Kincaid, co—author of DIVING AND SNORKELING GUIDE TO THE FLORIDA KEYS. Don has been around and about THI since 1971 when he found the first gold on the Atocha site during his first dive for the company. However, he saw the treasure hunt itself as the photographic opportunity of a lifetime1 and finding treasure just an interesting sideline. Be that as it may, many of the major finds on both Margarita and Atocha are credited to him. |

| Don’s photographs have been published in major magazines worldwide, but he is most noted for his work for the National Geographic Society. While we all love his treasure pictures, my personal favorite is the one of beached pilot whales, which ran as a double page in National Geographic. (This whale story had a happy ending, as most were saved.) | |
| DIVING AND SNORKELING GUIDE TO THE FLORIDA KEYS is one of his latest ventures, and we are delighted to say he’s got a best seller on his hands, the book having sold some 30,000 copies in the last few months. There is good reason for this. John and Judy Hales have done a great job describing the Upper Keys, but I feel that it is Don’s contribution to diving the Lower Keys and Key West that makes the book a standout. New locations, wrecks to dive, how to get there, who to take you there, and of course his photographs make this book worth owning and it is obvious that others think so too. We have a hard time keeping it in stock. Until next issue, remember, TODAY’S THE DAY TO read a good hook. | |
