Thanks for this thread, emoreira, and for the kind words about my book. And we can all wish a happy anniversary to SEALAB I, whose four aquanauts were getting ready to surface 50 years ago this week. I was recently invited to write a brief tribute to SEALAB on the occasion of its 50th, a milestone most media are missing. In case anyone's interested, here it is:
Zócalo Public Square :: Is the Final Frontier Under the Sea?
I was also grateful to see Bob Barth the other day at a Florida State University symposium, where he and I both spoke as part of a commemoration of SEALAB's 50th. Bob, as some may know, is the sole surviving aquanaut from SEALAB I, and he also took part in SEALAB II and III. Definitely fits the definition of unsung hero.
Historically,
Ben
I concur with Ben and high recommend his book "Sea Lab." It is a book that is a classic in our time. Ben has documented what was undocumented for the past, present and future generations of divers.
A must for all who identify themselves as a "diver"
I am in frequent contact with Bob Barth who also has published a book of memories which I am anxiously awaiting its arrival via US mail
