Summary

The book manages to combine humor, adventure, tragedy, triumph, heroism, and even some forays into the risqu?? while chronicling the careers of 20 enduring personalities that helped make diving what it is today. Some of those interviewed are retired now, one (author Peter Benchley of Jaws fame) recently passed away, and many are still making history through their ongoing work. It's quite a group.
