The Cave Divers
by Robert Burgess

Cave divers are a breed apart and this is their story-a story of pushing the limits of technology and human endurance. In 24 chapters Burgess takes you on an exciting and often harrowing journey from the earliest pioneering expeditions into submerged prehistoric caves in Europe to the most recent record-setting expeditions. You'll read about archaeological finds, including a 10,000-year-old skull in Florida's Warm Mineral Springs; the underwater passages feeding Bahama's blue holes; record depth and horizontal penetrations in Mexico and Florida; and explorations in France, the United Kingdom and elsewhere. You will feel the lure of the labyrinth and learn of the thoughts and struggles of divers lost but to God. You'll go on body recovery dives and thrill when a team dispatched across continents beats the odds. And of course you'll read about the divers: Dr. George Benjamin, Eugenie Clark, Carl Clausen, Jacques Cousteau, Sheck Exley, Steve Gerrard, Lamar Hires, Woody Jasper, Jon Lindbergh, Mike Madden, William Royal, Gary Salsman, Wes Skiles, Bill Stone, Edward Thompson and many more.
