Hey Glocals! I’m hoping that this note finds you well. In addition to news, contests, and special offers, I want to share exclusive content with you.

In 2005 I traveled along the Mosquito Coast of Nicaragua and became aware of an issue that some call an “underwater genocide.” Let’s just say that the lobster on your plate at Red Lobster didn’t just give itself up in your honor. Nope, they were hand caught by the indigenous Moskito Indians on SCUBA. 100% of these divers have experienced decompression sickness, including the bends, from diving too deep for too long.

In the piece (downloadable PDF) you’ll…

…experience what it’s like to hang out at the dock with the sailors, hookers, and divers

…read about the only time my life has been threatened by another human being

…be one of the few people in this world to hear about my near-death underwater experience (it’s not something I like to talk about in everyday life)

…learn why the only thing more dangerous than lobster diving is ending lobster diving.

Here it is!
