    About this ebook

    The events of this story revolves around my true personal experience that occurred during the Fall of l982, while sport diving in the Gulf of Mexico with three friends, John, Kitty, and Carlos.

    Danger was obvious for me, as a change in my breathing equipment occurred. At that moment I knew my life was in jeopardy and I was fighting with all my strength.

    After being retrieved from the water and taken to a nearby hospital, I was treated by a Physician and determined to have post traumatic stress syndrome and physical handicaps.

    The treatment process was difficult for myself and created a hardship on my family. There were times I didn't think I was going to pull through, but my faith and my family were my main sources of energy.

    Ridgley B. Merritt Jr.

    Ridgley B. Merritt Jr., was born on September 7, 1945, in the small town of Madisonville located in the southeastern part of Louisiana, thirty miles from New Orleans. Madisonville sits on the banks of the Tchefuncte River, which intertwines with Lake Pontchartrain and enters into the Gulf of Mexico. Ridgley was employed in the automobile sales industry for twenty-five years. He retired from sales and is currently working part-time for a major automobile leasing company. His interest in writing began after his scuba diving accident happened to him; as a result, he wanted to share his story with others. He joined Long Ridge Writers Group and successfully completed the requisite course of study breaking into print—a professional program of instruction in writing articles and short stories for publication. He currently resides in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with his wife. He spends some of his free time golfing, fishing, traveling, and attending local sporting events.
