I enjoyed the illustrations the best. I am not a diver but like to read about the treasures found in the sea. The author sure likes to explore the treasures to be found and his enthusiasm comes through on the pages.

More of a how-to than a history. Which was a disappointment.

Excellent resource for shipwrecks. The stories in this book are so interesting and eye-opening. It gives great detail to the history and heritage of many different cultures and countries. Some of the stories were so amazing that they should make movies out of them. I had no idea there were so many heartfelt stories that came from all of these wrecks. This book really taught me alot about history I didn't even know existed. I highly recommend it.
