In Oceans Deep: Courage, Innovation, and Adventure Beneath the Waves

This book chronicles the experience of a longtime deep-sea diver who weaves together the science and history of the ocean, exploring its mysteries, dangers, beauty, and inspiration. From daring free divers reaching 300 feet on a single breath to saturation divers living underwater for weeks, and trailblazers who voluntarily breathed experimental gases, author Bill Streever celebrates the pioneers who pushed the limits of human endurance in the depths.

The book also traces the little-known history and exciting future of ocean travel and study, from seventeenth-century leather-hulled submarines to luxury submersibles built for billionaires and robots capable of roving unsupervised between continents. The book will explore this last frontier and make a case for the conservation of this great unknown.
