From the best-selling author of four classic UK diving books, comes
The Darkness Below - a collection of absorbing adventures gained
from a lifetime in diving. As one of the UK's leading Technical
Divers, Rod takes the reader on a spellbinding and gripping
journey, from first beginnings as a novice scuba diver. Told in
intimate detail with a beguiling sense of self-deprecating humour,
he recounts epic dives on some of the most fabulous shipwrecks
around the world. Terrifying first explorations of virgin
shipwrecks far offshore, lost in time and enshrouded in darkness in
the silent depths, cram the pages. A daring expedition into the
heart of the feared Corryvreckan whirlpool, the third largest in
the world, an open sea encounter with Orca killer whales and an
agonizing attack of the bends keep the reader engrossed. The
palpable gloom, despair and human tragedy of the wrecks is never
far away - the cold and darkness of the depths almost resonating
with the cries of those who have perished. The fear of entrapment
inside a wreck is grippingly described and becomes almost
claustrophobic to the reader unfamiliar with the perils of wreck
penetration, when snagged nets sometimes billow unseen above the
unwary diver. However, there are rewards when survivors from wrecks
are keen to speak to someone who has seen and touched their ship
that had been lost long ago. This is an unmissable book for all
divers and anyone interested in maritime history.
