Dear fellow Divers,
I have seen a lot of encouragement to Jan over the years in this chain of postings to publish a bigger book. I have been strongly encouraging him as well.
Until our feedback and momentum reaches the critical mass and Jan decides to publish a larger book we can support Jan by buying and spreading the word about his 2008 20 page photo book ”Beneath the Whidbey Waters”.

I believe that this existing book is already a treasure for several groups of people: new divers, new to Puget Sound divers, old divers looking to see new things and none divers who have no idea how magical world is here in Puget Sound.
If everybody would think and act how to support Jan in further sharing his talents, we could move the mountains.
Jan recently reordered print of his book and has some copies available with the new cover.
I personally decided to buy several of his books and I will donate 1 book to each dive shop I am a customer: Bubbles Below in Woodinville and Silent World in Bellevue.
The purpose is to have store copy on display and spark interest. If someone wants to buy then for now will still need to e-mail Jan and send check unless dive shops will come up with some arrangement with Jan.
This is just my tiny contribution and commitment.
If anyone has any other ideas, please share.
