edit data

An engineer by vocation, Cotwell began his dive training in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1996, getting his CMAS certification under the tutelage of old school wreck divers. On an early morning dive in the winter of 1997 in freezing waters, the first stage of his regulator froze and free flowed, which marked his transition to diving in tropical waters. Since then, he has dived in the waters off New Guinea, Borneo, Bali, Sulawesi, Hawaii, and the Red Sea.

During his youth, Cotwell often daydreamed about traveling the world and writing about his exploits. Little did he know at the time that some of those “exploits” would seep into his stories.

Today, T.R. Cotwell lives with his family near Seattle, WA.
