Geoff Nate's Tales of the South Pacific
Well it wasn’t exactly movie material, but it couldn’t have been more dramatic. We were somewhere in Melanesia. The shark and Geoff Nate were facing off on the edge of some remote coral reef. It was hardly an even match. Be our guests and share a few of this blogger’s “Adventures in Paradise.”
Bits and Pieces of an Ordinary Life
Chapter 1: Melanesia 1984
It was just the two of us, face-to-face, the beast and this blogger, with no place to hide. There’s a backstory here and fortunately this diver survived to tell the tale.
Chapter 2: Indonesia 1987
The survivors return to the South Pacific once again in search of new tropical challenges.
