from ship salvage. Early attempts lead nowhere until he teams up
with a new partner, Simon Martin. Diving in Hebridean waters, they

Politician, the vessel made famous in the Whisky Galore. But money
is scarce and irregular, and the work is fraught with danger and
disappointment. Until they hear of one of the most incredible
wrecks of all time - the White Star Liner Oceanic, which, when
built in 1899, was the biggest and most luxurious ship in the
world. Widely regarded as an 'undiveable' wreck, lying somewhere
off the remote island of Foula, they decide to take the challenge.
They face unbelievably dangerous waters and appalling weather
conditions, and when a large salvage company takes action against
them, they also have a huge legal fight on their hands. But if they
succeed, the rewards will be enormous...
