Description
Howard Rosenstein wasn't just opening the first dive school in Sharm El-Sheikh; he was cracking open a hidden world in Sinai. This true story dives headfirst into those ground-breaking times, where celebrated guests, uncharted dives and historical discoveries became the extraordinary routine.
It's a tale of grit, where resourcefulness and connections fuelled Howard's pioneering spirit. From Roman coins glinting on the seabed to the dark, unmapped depths, his dives unveiled sunken treasures and secrets of the past. But these weren't just underwater adventures - they were tightrope walks between nations still at war. He braved floods, assisted grounded ships, and even braved the depths of Mount Sinai itself.
Howard's journey wasn't a solitary one. He rubbed shoulders with underwater legends, bestselling authors, true photography greats, and even world leaders. He navigated murky shipwrecks, charmed amorous sharks, and found himself a player in the delicate dance of peace negotiations.
Through his dive centers, first in the Mediterranean and then exploding onto the Sinai scene, Howard became a pioneer of recreational diving. He shared the magic of the underwater world with a generation, igniting a passion that would forever burn, his only desire that it would never end. But peace, like the tide, comes with a change.
Illustrated throughout with 200 images by the author and others including renowned underwater photographer David Doubilet.
