Wreck Diving Adventures

About This Book

This book is more than a collection of tales depicting the exploration of unknown or little known shipwrecks, of colorful images of breathtaking underwater vistas, of vignettes of man’s historic past or nature’s magnificent wonders, of incredible sagas dealing with thorny legal issues and bureaucratic legerdemain. This book is an insight into the pioneering soul, and the personification of the adventurous spirit that resides in all of us.

In these pages the reader will find many facets of human endeavor, from the free exploring nature of the mind to the undaunted vision for a rationalistic future: told with a broad range of writing styles to match the depth of the particular subject under discussion, whether light-hearted banter or serious drama.

Thrill to the discovery of a long lost submarine, discover the rich trove of artifacts on a World War Two freighter, delve into the Great Lakes’ sunken past, marvel at the amazing state of preservation of a nineteenth century sailing ship, dive into the inky black waters of the Patuxent River, join the precedent-setting expedition to the Civil War ironclad Monitor, and laugh at the uproarious fictional adventures of that lone shark and underwater sleuth, Mike Hammerhead.

Warning: wreck diving adventures are contagious. Once infected with the lust to experienced the freedom of the subsea world, you will never be the same. For divers and armchair explorers alike.

Amply illustrated with black and white historical photographs and color underwater photographs of shipwrecks and marine life.
