DRYING OUT picks up where WET PAY left off. It takes us through the second half of Sam's career in the dive industry. Sam does less diving as he works his way into more supervising and also becomes an IMCA certified Life Support Technician (LST). It chronicles his time spent on SAT systems in the Gulf of Mexico following the damage done by Hurricane Ivan and the total destruction wreaked upon the Gulf states by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. When that work was slowing down, Sam found work in other parts of the world including Saudi Arabia, Italy, and Egypt. Sam's career path introduces him to hyperbaric tunneling where he thinks he might spend the final years of his career. However, his career is brought full circle as his last job is supervising on a large dam project on the Ohio River; his first real commercial dive job taking place on a dam in Wyoming on the Shoshone River (as described in WET PAY).

The final chapter of the book describes what a woman is to the author.

Wet Pay is my story of my career in Commercial Diving. It starts from when I entered a Commercial Dive School in 1983 and follows the first half of my career into 2001. These are funny, exciting, sometimes horrifying tales of incidents that took place while I was working as a commercial diver around the Pacific Northwest and the Western United States. The stories are ALL true as to the best of my recollection.

My physical and mental struggles after a catastrophic motorcycle accident and ending up a paraplegic in a wheelchair; Cindy's absolute dedication and her unwavering devotion; My family and friend's loving support; the skills and patience of most of the staff I have had in the various medical facilities - it all adds up to one stunning story of horrible luck, remarkable resilience and a heart-warming relationship that binds it all together.

Being a coach is a deeply rewarding profession, but even the best coaches encounter moments of uncertainty and doubt. In Coaching Stories: Flowing and Falling of Being a Coach, Karen Dean and Sam Humphrey intimately share their varied experiences as executive coaches in 48 stories – some where they were flowing and glorious, and others where they were falling and ashamed. Dean and Humphrey guide the reader through the journey from a novice to a master coach by exploring twelve distinct themes, underpinned by the four parts of Dean’s ‘Exceptional Achievement’ framework: setting out, doing, integrating and being. Each chapter focuses on a different theme, presenting specific examples and stories from the authors’ work and reflecting on their learning and development at each point. Dean and Humphrey expertly assess topics, including confidence, talent, purpose and fulfilment, by examining times where they performed effectively as well as those where they fell short. In each case they consider what they wish they had asked or known about in advance, and each story provides an insightful look at what being a coach is really like. Practical and accessible, the book concludes with a section on further reading and study, explaining relevant theories, models and frameworks. Coaching Stories: Flowing and Falling of Being a Coach will be a compassionate and pragmatic companion for coaches of all kinds, both in practice and in training. It will also be a valuable guide for other professionals seeking development, including internal coaches, managers in a coaching role, HR and L&D professionals and will be a useful text for academics and students of coaching and coaching psychology. Dean and Humphrey are award-winning authors and have written a number of articles for leading coaching publications.
