In the final throes of The Last Dive: a father and son's fatal descent into the ocean's depths - a gripping true account of high-risk ambition, a mysterious German u-boat, and tragic death
by Bernie Chowdury.

This account of a well-known 1992 diving accident* has been in my to-read stack for months.  The book covers a lot more than I anticipated -- decompression illness, diving history, cave & extreme deep water water diving conditions & techniques, and more.  Excellent book -- the wait was worth it.. 

*This was no "accident" -- given the personalities and interpersonal dynamics of the protagonists, it was inevitable.   

Thanks Sk8er,  I'll check that out.  I've always been a sucker for a good submarine story.

Star, I'm curious as to your reaction to the Tchaikovsky book.



 

I look forward to reporting back when the time is right
