I would love for people to support this book if they feel inclined.
It is a stupendous piece of work of one of the most heart breaking tragedies in Saturation Diving history.
Michael Smart has spent years uncovering the sordid details and put it into this book.
My friend "Bombay High" posted about it, but in a different forum.
Here is Mark Longstreaths review of the book:
This book is explosive! It should be made part of every diver's library, and should be essential reading for anyone considering diving as a career. It should also be placed on every diving operator's desk to remind him of how not to go about running an operation. From page one you are catapulted into the life of the offshore commercial diver as it was in the 1970s. Be prepared to go through a range of emotions from apprehension, incredulity, anger, disbelief, disgust and deep sadness as you live through the events that lead to the unnecessary deaths of two experienced professionals. The cover-ups that followed and the despicable manner in which the families were treated will leave you wanting to pound on doors and demand justice.The book has been meticulously researched, and is difficult to put down from the turn of the first page until the bitter bitter end.It is a story that demands to be told!
