The Big Scuba podcast, hosts Ian and Gemma are joined by Mark Greaney.

What happens when a world-class thriller writer hits the water? In this episode, we sit down with Mark Greaney, the man behind The Gray Man and the Tom Clancy Jack Ryan series. We discuss his transition from tactical firearms training to recreational scuba diving and how he translates the "inner space" of the ocean into high-octane thriller scenes.

Mark is a #1 New York Times bestselling author with a background in international relations and political science. His commitment to authenticity has led him to:

• Travel to 35+ countries for book research.

• Train with military/law enforcement in tactics and battlefield medicine.

• Collaborate directly with Tom Clancy on titles like Locked On and Command Authority.

• See his debut novel, The Gray Man, become a major motion picture starring Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans.
