Deep Descent
Drawn by the sirens call of adventure, a small but fanatical
group of extreme scuba divers has long challenged the
Andrea Doria, pushing themselves far beyond the limits of
recreational divers, up to the very limits of human endurance.
Not all of them have succeeded. In Deep Descent, an
author and frequent Doria diver Kevin McMurray takes you
inside this elite club, offering an unsparing and
unsentimental exploration ofthose men and women who dare to go
deeper, farther, and closer to the edge than prudence or
common sense might allow.
Considered the Mt. Everest of diving, the
Andrea Doria is the ultimate deepwater wreck challenge --
lying in an area long known as the Bermuda Triangle of the
Northeast, some fifty miles south of Nantucket Island and two
hundred miles east of Sandy Hook, New Jersey. This region, no
stranger to disaster, is fog-shrouded and prone to sudden
changes of wind, weather, and tide. In addition to many
shipping disasters, it has borne mute witness to such recent
tragedies as the fatal crash of John F. Kennedy Jr.'s small
plane and the mysterious downing of EgyptAir Flight 990. It is
an area that guards its secrets well, only surrendering its
treasures to the bravest ormost determined seekers.
Told with a vivid and startling clarity,
Deep Descent is a story of courage and bravado, of the
human spirit overcoming human frailty, and of fearsome risks
traded for a hardwired adrenaline rush. With each page,
McMurray draws us deeper into the cold heart of the
unforgiving sea, giving us a powerful vision of a place to
which few will ever have the skills or the daring to go.
