Deep Dive: Against the Odds

In her memoir, Deep Dive: Against The Odds, author and avid scuba diver Dorothy Myrick reflect on the experiences that led to the thrill of her lifetime-getting her scuba diving certification. She was terrified of being in water that was merely knee deep and now she is a certified scuba diver. Dorothy’s story is not just one of overcoming a paralyzing fear, but one of doing so under extraordinary circumstances. She was born with a condition of the left arm called radial hemimelia. She recalls how she felt as a child growing up with this birth defect and how it produced an inner drive to never give up! This amazing journey of learning to scuba dive changed her life-along with the ups and downs along the way. Deep Dive is a very personal telling of her resolve, determination and can-do-attitude, which so many should quickly connect and relate to.
