“Paul Mila has created a fast-paced thriller that finds its "Maltese Falcon" hundreds of years older and in an underwater Mayan shrine. Grab your air tank -- definitely worth the dive!”

“This terrific little book has everything. The story is fantasy, but the underwater color photos showing the interaction of reef characters are real. The information about turtles is easy to understand, and the fish learn a great lesson about befriending those who are not always just like you. It even has easy, fun questions at the end to enhance the learning.”

“If you can't go diving next week, start turning the pages of Paul and Judy's superb collection of personal dive tales.

You'll find yourself underwater with humpback whales in Tonga, gasping at a barracuda feed in Cozumel, or finning through WWII wrecks in Guadalcanal. I felt like I was sitting on the beach, listening to old friends spin their stories just for me. This is the book I always wanted to write. They beat me to it.”

“Mila has created his own genre: The Feel-Good Thriller. His white-knuckle tales are spun by friends you don't want to leave.”

Paul Mila has done it again, with the third novel in his thrilling scuba diving series. Mila has an uncanny flair for putting readers into the thick of non-stop action.  Throw in a heroic dolphin, exciting underwater drama, and you won’t put this unique thriller down until the explosive conclusion. My hat’s off to you Paul. Well done!

“In his sequel to Dangerous Waters, Paul Mila has crafted another exciting adventure-mystery featuring Terry Hunter and Joe Manetta. Mila skillfully combines an intricate mystery plot with engaging characters and insights from a different culture, allowing his readers to experience the world from a novel perspective: that of the whales and dolphins who inhabit three-quarters of our planet. Don’t miss this one!”

“Reading DANGEROUS WATERS is almost as good as scuba diving. The book delivers adventure, suspense, thrills and romance, along with plenty of underwater action.  The main characters, Terry Hunter and Joe Manetta, are appealing and attractive; totally modern yet with a touch of old fashion values. This is an excellent novel for both divers and non-divers.”

Underwater Myster Novel Review

“I just returned from Grand Cayman, had a fantastic trip and did much better this time. I got pictures of green morays, turtles, jaw fish, parrot fish, barracudas, fire worms, sting rays, various coral shots, etc. The suggestions in your photo course were great and helped a lot!!!”
