Features: If you have long loved the understated elegance and mystery of the deep sea, you absolutely cannot miss this book. If you haven’t yet had the chance to more boldly fall in love with the deep sea, this book will be the beginning of your obsession. Bernie Chowdhury wrote a book that appears to explore diving activities and the profound, cruel ocean; in reality, he writes about a more profound and crueler realm—the realm of the human spirit and the often unsatisfied heart. – The New York Times
The author of the best-selling October Sky, Homer Hickam, this book moved me more than any dive I’ve personally experienced. Bernie Chowdhury is a true contemporary explorer, probing not just sunken ships but the hearts of those who risk their lives to explore them. The climactic, fatal dive had me gasping for breath just as the divers he writes about do. – Dr. Kenneth Kamler, Vice President of The Explorers Club
What price will a person pay for their love of the sea? For divers, the sea is their faith. This faith isn’t just admiration for its beauty but also the strength to face death threats. Chris and Christie Rous, an experienced diving father-and-son duo, embody this faith. They are as much a product of the ocean as they are immersed in its tranquil yet mysterious world, pouring their passion, hope, and even their lives into it.
