I purchased this from Amazon for my Kindle, not expecting much. It's about a group of underwater archeologists for the National Park Service. Honestly, it sat on my kindle for months because I thought it would be terribly boring.
I was wrong! This book starts at the infancy of cave diving. The author is one of the early cave divers in Florida and relates a very interesting trip to the Huatla region of Mexico with his good friend Scheck. He also does some body recoveries with Scheck, among a few other names cavers might recognize.
They go on to the South Pacific, Great Lakes wreck diving ( back when drysuits were new and scarey).
This is a fascinating book with lots of history about diving in the 70s-80s, lots of near-death stories and plenty to keep almost any type of diver entertained.
Not the dry archeology book that I was expecting, not at all. The writer is an excellent and entertaining writer. The book flows and is easy to read. Highly recommend!
