If you like this, you will also enjoy @Oceanaut's many threads, mostly excerpts from his book The History of Oilfield Diving: An Industrial Adventure by Christopher Swann (Oceanaut Press). Hannes Keller's 1,000' Dive is a good one to hook recreational divers on the rest of his threads.

I also enjoyed reading the history of the oil rig diving, from that link. Fascinating reading.
