Just finished "fatal depths"

Don't forget your snorkel!!

Yes of course, I figure if I stay at the prominade deck I can use the snorkel and conserve the gas in my tank. That way I can save it for the penetration part of the dive when I'm looking for the china closets.

The Last Dive by Berny Chowdhury

I lived through those years and know/knew many of the divers in the books. When these books first came out I read them and put them away. It was too fresh for me to live through again. A month or so ago I finaly reread Deep Descent and was able to concentrate on it. At least the dreams were not as bad as the first time I read it. Perhaps divers also get PTSS.

Another good one in this vain is:

"Diving into Darkness" was a great book! I read it a couple of times. I just finished "Fatal Depths." Another good one! I read selections to my students at school to demonstrate what wrong choices can lead to. They were mesmerized by the selections, and some of them want to read the book themselves now.

Just finished this one last week. WOW! What a tragic story. I found I couldn't put it down.

It's a good read. I found it to be a good reminder of how easily things can go wrong and how one should never get too complacent underwater.

I just finished reading this and it was such a good read. I'm currently reading "Last Dive" by Bernie Chowdhury, which is so far very good, and I'm reading "Fatal Depth" and I have to say so far I prefer "Deep Descent".
