    I See What are your favorite diving books/tales of the high seas

    Just wanted to get some input on this, so I can start putting together my future yacht's library, which will be entirely dive and maritime related. So put your thinking caps on and hurry, by my calculations I should have enough saved for the yacht in 573 years!

    Favorite dive books....

    Hey,

    Well, I will give you a run-down of the books that I have and enjoy reading over and over.

    Shadow Divers by Rober Kurson
    The Last Dive by Bernie Chowdhury
    Deep Diving by Bret Gilliam with Robert Von Maier and John Crea
    Deep Descent by Kevin McMurray
    Dark Descent by Kevin McMurray
    Offshore Cruising, Navigation, and Racing by Time Life Books
    And most anything by Clive Cussler.
    I also have Solo Diving by Robert Von Maier, but was not real impressed with it. Just my opinion.

    Not an extensive library by any means.......yet.
    But time will tell!!

    Shadow Divers

    It's pretty cool knowing lots of the folks/places/boats/wrecks in the story.

    reading

    Shadow Divers---took me awhile to get through the first quarter of the book but after that--it was great a must read. I agree with anything by Clive Cussler--light reading--unlike Shadow Divers----

    Let's go for classics - " The Silent World" by Jacques Cousteau and "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" by Jules Verne.

    X

    p.s. DVD's of both exist too.

    "And The Sea Will Tell" by V Bugliosi.

    Not diving but a true murder mystery with a Yacht and a south pacific atoll.

    Bugliosi is the DA who put Manson away.

    I have read all of the books listed by Dark Wolf except the one by Robert Von Maier. All great reads. Love Cussler too. Would include Iron Coffins by Herbert A. Werner, Rum Runners, U-Boats and Hurricanes by Bryan Galecki, Shipwrecks: Diving the Graveyard of the Atlantic by Roderick M. Farb and Graveyard of the Atlantic: Shipwrecks of the North Carolina Coast by David Stick...
