Review:
“A coming-of-age story that all kids will relate to . . . a group of deep-sea friends venture out on their own to go beyond what they thought were their limitations to find other exciting worlds. What they discover is a diversity of sea life and their own ‘path of light.’ I love how the mythical organisms come to life in this book. Very entertaining.”

John is the author of Scientific Diving Techniques, 2nd Edition, and Cold Water Diving, 2nd Edition.
He serves as the National Science Foundation, U.S. Antarctic Program Diving Safety Officer and he recently completed a research project evaluating the use of rebreathers in Antarctica for the scientific diving program.
His diving has taken him to many areas of the world, including both poles and tropical areas in between.
He spent fifteen seasons in the Antarctic doing research dives through ice that was ten feet thick, in water temperatures of 28.6ºF, and air temperatures as low as -60ºF, not for the faint-hearted!
Luminous Finds Her Aura is John's first children's book.
