Always another adventure, ASIN: B0006BRD9O Binding: Hardcover

This guy, Robert F. Marx, seems to evoke strong reactions: variously distaste for such a scallywag, fascination and respect for his reckless full experience of life, and disbelief that so many things can happen to one man.  An obsession with diving leads the author on an endless series of adventures from the dawn of the SCUBA age up to the mid-1960s.  There are side trips to hunt for lost Mayan cities and do research in Spanish shipping archives but much of the book takes place on and under the sea.

Note: This is out-of-print and isn't too easy to find.  The only Marx book I find in print now is Shipwrecks of the Americas.
