About

In Deep Dive Against the odds, Dorothy Myrick reveals she was the original scaredy-cat of open water. After learning to swim, it took falling off her bike to start her on a path to scuba diving.
She was terrified of being in water that was merely knee deep and now she is a certified scuba diver. Her story is not just one of overcoming such a paralyzing fear, but it is also one of doing so under extraordinary circumstances.
She was born with a condition of the left arm called radial hemimelia (a reduction in the radial bone of the forearm and the absence of a thumb and index finger). She recalls how she felt as a child growing up with this birth defect and how it produced an inner drive to never give up. This amazing journey of learning to scuba dive changed her life-along with the ups and downs along the way. This memoir is an example of her resolve, determination and can-do-attitude.
