Read any good books lately?

I recently found some decent mysteries with a scuba diving theme. Your mileage may vary. Happy surface intervals!

Kathy Brandt. Swimming With The Dead and Dark Water Dive.
Randy Wayne White. Twelve Mile Limit.

What's in your bookshelf?
 
The Reef by Nora Roberts--- very good, excellent plot.
I've read it at least 5 times and haven't gotten bored with it yet. It is a "romance" of sorts, but it has a whole lot of diving and a really good villian.
 
Ooh, and it seems you've been watching the Love channel a lot too......

But anyway, David Poyer writes some good commercial-diving and cave diving oriented books, and most of Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt novels have diving in them.

Try amazon.com for more.

Clive Cussler rocks! His fiction and non-fiction.
 
Just about anything by Clive Cussler. He also has a couple of non-fiction books out.
 
I'll say this about Clive Cussler books: They can be read. You can definitely read them. You'll have no problems there.

That is all I have to say about Clive Cussler books.;)
The Sea Hunters tv show however, is quite good.
 
You could always read The Life of Pi by Yann Martel. An excellent read even if it isn't about diving.

You may want to try the Webb Carrick series by British author Bill Knox. Webb Carrick is a Scotish Fisheries Officer. The novels aren't precisely about diving, but a lot of diving is done is each novel. Some titles I can suggest:

Hellspout
The Klondyker
Stormtide

Enjoy!
