His destination was nearly 900 feet below the surface. On January 8th he descended into the water. About fifteen feet below the surface was a fissure in the bottom of the basin, barely wide enough to admit him. He slipped through the opening and disappeared from sight, leaving behind the world of light and life. Then, a second diver descended through the same crack in the stone. This was Don Shirley, Shaw's friend, and one of the few people in the world qualified to follow where Shaw was about to go. In the community of extreme diving, Don Shirley was a master among masters. Twenty-five minutes later, one of the men was dead. The other was in mortal peril, and would spend the next 10 hours struggling to survive, existing literally from breath to breath. What happened that day is the stuff of nightmarish drama, but it's also a compelling human story of friendship, heroism, ambition, and of coming to terms with loss and tragedy. 3797170 30 9 2008 Diving into Darkness: A True Story of Death and Survival total:29|5:8|4:13|3:6|2:1|1:1| 29 113 52 9 4 0 false false Tue Dec 30 07:29:06 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 19 08:57:16 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 30 07:29:06 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Feb 28 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Mar 28 17:47:40 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 28 18:43:53 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu May 07 12:00:12 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 23 07:56:09 -0700 2009 Thu May 07 12:00:12 -0700 2009

I skipped the equivalent of 3 chapters that covered the history and technical aspect of gas mixes, etc. Tragic story but one that you can't put down. ]]> 5 0 false false Mon Mar 23 11:20:12 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 23 11:21:06 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Sep 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 25 04:46:57 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 25 04:47:40 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Sat Oct 11 10:59:14 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 11 11:02:16 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sat Mar 07 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 21 06:14:53 -0800 2008 Sat Mar 07 10:30:05 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Nov 19 08:19:24 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 19 08:20:05 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Nov 09 05:05:30 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 09 05:05:35 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Nov 06 13:42:25 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 06 13:42:25 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Wed Oct 14 16:50:42 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 14 16:50:42 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Oct 21 09:50:08 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 11 12:06:05 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 11 12:06:08 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Oct 15 14:42:09 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 04 12:19:28 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 04 12:19:28 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Sep 21 09:14:18 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 21 09:14:18 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Sep 05 21:04:58 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 05 21:04:58 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Aug 17 14:09:04 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 17 14:09:04 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 24 08:21:11 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 24 08:21:11 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Jul 03 18:19:41 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 09 11:08:36 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=3753308
