Martin is also a renowned U/W explorer - expedition leader and author
His soon to be published book co written my Martin and Mark Cowan, “Between the Devil and the Deep” deals with an expedition that took place in Russia. And was the subject of his talk that evening.
Martin held his audience spell bound as he told the gruesome true story of the bends, seen through the eyes of a diver pitched into a natural hell; paralysed and trapped underwater with nowhere to go but sink back into the deep. For more information about his experience and for a way to be apart of this incredible journey
