A great feature of Amazon is that it will remind you when you have made a purchase. I purchased that book in 2013 and I forgot about it, but it is somewhere in my shelf of books to read. Actually, maybe I did read it and still forgot about it. I have to find it and look at it to see if it looks familiar. lol

In any case, I am sure I did not pay that much in 2013, but I am glad Amazon reminded me that I already have it. :cool:

Luis, when you find this book, go to Chapter 31, "Aquanaut" to read Bill High's descriptions of living in these various habitats. He did a lot of scientific research in Tektite, Hydro Lab, Flare and Helgoland.
