Review

Big dreams often start with small steps. We can all learn from Jennifer Idol's transformative journey, even if we never get near the water. --Chris Guillebeau, New York Times best-selling author of Born for This and $100 Startup

Expeditions are rewarding in both the journey and the destination. Jennifer Idol describes the abundance of diving opportunities in the U.S. while discovering much greater truths about the environment and her passion to protect it for future generations. Her book is a beautiful montage of great images and captivating stories held together with life lessons and personal enlightenment. I highly recommend following her journey and then diving into your own local diving. --Jill Heinerth, Underwater Explorer, IntoThePlanet.com

It is always exciting to see women venturing where few others have gone before. With Jennifer s accomplishment, she expands the status quo, leading other female divers to believe anything is possible with determination, dedication, training, and heart. It is inspiring to see female leaders like Jennifer within the dive industry leading the next generation of women into new territories inside this sport. --Amanda Cotton, Founder and CEO Water Women, Inc.
