Jeff Williams's Reviews > Deep Descent: Adventure and Death Diving the Andrea Doria

This was a really good book on the cautionary tale of deep sea diving. As one feels the lure of discovery and potential treasures(in the way of dive mementos, not so much chests of gold), the book tips more towards the dangers and pitfalls from early technical diving and how many fell to the siren song of the Andrea Doria. The lives of several legendary technical divers and their unfortunate ends are chronicled here in matter-of-fact yet dignified detail.
