SHIPWRECKS OF THE FLORIDA WRECK TRAIL
The sign claims “the wreck capital of the world”, maybe Mel Fisher would agree, but most of the wrecks featured here were sunk as tourist attractions. Nevertheless the DUANE, the SPEGEL GROVE and the VANDEBERG offer some challenging dives. Written by default- it was always a “back burner” but Covid 19 had other ideas. It turned out better than I had hoped!100 pages

FULL LIST OF AVAILABLE FREE GUIDE BOOKS SILENCING THE BANTINITES THE TILE WRECK THE TRUE STORY This is the “pilot” which kicked the whole project off- and was intended as a one off, it’s purpose to challenge all those who said “you’re wrong”-wrong because of who I am not because of fact .Only 46 pages but presents all the facts surrounding the identity and events of the sinking of the TILE WRECK-THE MV MARCUS, which sank on AB NU HAS pre 1980.

To this day, despite its popularity, no one has disagreed with the books findings. A classic tale of marine insurance fraud
THE RUSSIAN WRECK The subject of this book again flaunted with the disbelievers- they laughed when I revealed the discovery of Russian spy ship, off course I was wrong was’nt I.

E book concept
The idea of the E-Book series came about after seeing so many incorrect publications quoting the wrong identity of the Tile Wreck at Abu Nuhas in the Egyptian Red Sea. Despite a plethora of undeniable facts presented by myself and members of the Red Sea Wreck Academy, self-proclaiming experts still, for reasons known only to them, continued to quote the Marcus as the Chrisoula K. It was archive photographs from Howard Rosenstein and the location of the ships bell, which added weight to Stephan Jablonski’s accounts of the sinkings’. This new material gave us enough to produce the first E-book in 2008.
Being free from restrictions it soon found its way around the world and was passed on from diver to diver. It had the desired effect. Now more and more reports carry the correct identity. Sadly some don’t!
It was also an opportunity to give something back to diving. Of course there was also controversy over the identity and purpose of the Russian Wreck at Zabagad, and this lead to the second title. “75 Years Underwater” is THE definitive guide to the worlds most dived wreck. “Suez Wrecks” highlights the achievements of our regular wreck hunting trips up into the Gulf and “ dive Egypt’s wrecks” in 5 volumes is the most comprehensive guide to these waters .Other area’s are also featured ;Subic Bay, Leros Truk Lagoon, Maldives Malta Coron and Palau.
15 years on, the project has proved its worth, despite being ignored by the diving press, and with its place on the issuu platform at KUBI/MIFLEX continues to provide true and accurate information on many of the worlds best wrecks.
So now we have a total of 25 titles available, and more on the way, yours to enjoy and pass on to anyone who may be interested. Don’t forget we run regular expeditions and safaris to all these featured wrecks.
Safe diving.
Peter Collings.
