“I realized that what I had to write
could no be limited to diving in the conventional sense out instead
would tackle what I came to think as humanity presence beneath the
waves. “
Bill Sheever tackles the topic of the
ocean from the history of not only the ocean exploration but
human's presence in the ocean's deep from the beginning of free
diving and the first small manned submarines to the current explores
and exploration. You can see the love that Mr. Sheever has for the
oceans, ocean exploration and human interaction with the ocean and
his knowledge of this topic and a deep understanding that only comes
from experience of years of doing exactly what he is writing about.
His knowledge and understanding of the ocean and human exploration
makes this science and history in his writing more fact than fiction
and his sharing those experiences allow the reader to go along with
him and the other ocean explores in this book. I recommend this book
for both teachers, students or even non-academic with interest in the
past and present of ocean exploration, oceanography or even ocean
archaeology. The resource information alone in this book is a worthwhile investment and allows you to expand the knowledge you
already have in the field of ocean exploration.
