What on earth is a medical diver? Someone who practices medicine underwater? Leonard Starbeck served for over 28 years in the U.S. Navy and Marines, and in this fascinating memoir he answers that very question. Follow along as he tells stories of his many adventures travelling the world as an Independent Medical Diver (DMT/IDC) and a tactical medic, and more recently as a surgical nurse and Merchant Marine Medical Service Officer. Read how he dealt with harrowing medical emergencies associated with diving and high pressure conditions from deep ocean dives to the top of 12,000 foot mountains looking for unexploded bombs. On any given day he could be sailing, diving, shooting, or parachuting out of a plane, on duty as a medical corpsman, a boat driver, a marine mammal tech, a dive instructor, a gofer, a chauffeur, and a gardener. Buckle up and enjoy the stories of his incredible adventures.
