Synopsis
This biographical narrative presents the early days of the Florida scuba diving business, from the 1950's to the 1980's, through the eyes and lives of the McQuarrie family, founders of the Fishermen's Pier in 1953, the Aqua Peer in 1960, and the Blue Grotto in 1965. The story includes background information, business developments, and events that helped shape Florida's diving tourism. The writer, Tom McQuarrie Jr., narrates his memories and experiences growing up in the small town of Crystal River, beginning with the adoption of a family dog and the role he played in the family and the river business. The story then traces the activities of the first Crystal River dive shop and the pioneering endeavors of Tom McQuarrie Sr., as he helped introduce the scuba diving recreational sport into Central Florida. The book tells some fish stories, discusses the manatee's surge to national prominence, describes how some of the river springs were named, and details information about local scuba diving and Crystal River history. The story further explains how a water-filled sinkhole located in a cow pasture was developed into a cavern diving tourist attraction that has become a diver's destination, known as the Blue Grotto. If you like fishing, diving, and manatees, and have an interest in local history with a mix of family and river culture, you'll enjoy this biographical rendition by the author, who experienced the Florida scuba diving popularity explosion as a business insider. This book provides a robust sampling of it all.

- 5***r (188)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseOne of the best shopping experiences that I've had on ebay: thoughtful speedy communication, ultra fast shipping with careful packaging, and great price. Item came as described. Regarding the price of the CD- as I write this another seller is asking over $200 for it. Zuber's price was $35.00. How's that? I know these people have some negative reviews, but I can tell that they strive for improvement and better customer service. Highly recommended seller. Thanks Zuber!PHIL KEAGGY - The Cover Of Love - CD (#226263681430)
