Not that I am interested in deep diving myself...but it sounds like an interesting story! Thanks for the link...

Someone informed me that depending on where this book was published... this book also goes by the title of Diving Into the Darkness.

I thought they must be the same (from the description). An excellent read, even if you have absolutely no interests in cave/deep diving.

It still astonishes me that it was only Shaw's 333rd dive.

I totally agree! I ordered the book after reading the link. I am hoping it arrives in the mail soon!

Me being a semi-newbie diver. That seems like a lot.

Just finished reading this one under the Diving Into Darkness title about 5 minutes ago. Fantastic story, as tragic as it is. Started reading it last week and couldn't put it down. Put this one at the top of your list.

My book finally arrived in the mail yesterday. I can see how you didn't want to put it down.

GREAT BOOK!!!!! I had gotten the "Diving into Darkness" title. Definitely made this midwesterner brush up on his Metric conversion!!!! Definitely, broadened my understanding of Rebreather lingo and function. Was excellently descriptive and I could close my eyes and visualize the surrounding and almost feel the surface duckweed on my hands that covered the springs!!! Absolutely loved it!!!
