Description |
1st ED. 224pp. 30 b/w plates. good cond, slight fading of spine, light foxing on page edges. This is the story of diving, from the earliest days of pearl fishing without dress to the routine salvage of sunken wrecks and cargoes, the progressive development of deep diving, the wartime employment of frogmen and human torpedoes and then the compartively recent cult of skin diving with the aqualung. Inevitably the story became intertwined with that of the growth of Siebe, Gorman & Co which was led by a man synonymous with the evolution of diving, Sir Robert Davis whom the author had known all his life. |
