John Kean

John Kean is a heavyweight in the scuba diving industry and a three-times Amazon best-selling author. 'A Walk on the Deep Side' is ranked by The Book Authority as the Best Scuba Diving eBook of All Time. His books continue to entertain, enthrall and inspire a generation with incredible stories from above and beneath the sea. With over 10,000 scuba dives made and 2,000 students trained, John attained recreational and technical diving's highest instructor ratings and also served on two NGO regulatory bodies in the Red Sea. A twenty-year feature contributor to Diver Magazine John is a regular guest speaker at the leading dive shows. In the early millennium John led several international teams for multiple world deep dive records and completed two, sponsored, long distance motorcycling and diving expeditions. In doing so John became the first 'diving biker' in the world to combine the two sports over multiple countries. Among his many diving guests and students are Grammy Award-winning rock stars, premier league footballers, a US Secretary of State, Middle Eastern Royal family, a British comedy icon and several billionaire industrialists. On the other side of the glamour of exotic diving resorts and super yachts are the sometimes outrageous incidents and events that occur when Middle East meets West and when the unprepared take on deep water. John has witnessed, close-up, grand-scale terrorism attacks, shark attacks, a people's revolution, an airliner crash, drownings and worst of all... third-world taxi drivers! To the delight of his readers, this highly observant and humorous author occasionally steps back from it all to process the mayhem and write it all down. He is an aquatic and literary locksmith opening doors and eyes allowing an unparalleled first-hand view of the greatest force on earth.
