Josh Jensen is the self-perceived master of the underwater world
and knows no fear. Until he almost drowns scuba diving with his
friends in the calm crystal clear waters of a beautiful North
Florida spring on a warm sunny day. Rattled by the wakeup call and
unencumbered by wisdom, he decides to pursue training to master the
cold water-filled dark places beneath a ceiling of impenetrable
rock. Soon he and his divemates realize this sort of class isn't
just an easy lap around the pool. Their overbearing and harsh
instructor challenges them to come to terms with life and death
with only seconds of air to spare in claustrophobic passages. Josh
has to juggle the pending sunset of one romantic relationship with
the faintest glimpse of another, irate parents and a troubled boss
ready to fire him. A diving tragedy stuns and deeply saddens Josh
and he questions whether diving in caverns is too dangerous and
even if he should continue diving at all. Dealing with the loss, he
discovers a link to a diving fatality that estranged an experienced
team of cave explorers in a deep Mexican cave years ago. New
discoveries heal old wounds and bring enemies together as Josh
struggles to find meaning in death. Few works of fiction capture
the essence of cave diving and scuba literature is cluttered with
many tedious non-fiction accounts of diving triumphs. Sprinkled
with dramatic and realistic dive sequences penned by a real-life
cave diving instructor, THE CAVERN KINGS is an adventure filled
with dangers above and below the waterline that any reader will
enjoy.
