Description
From the best-selling author of four classic UK diving books comes The Darkness Below - a collection of absorbing adventures gained from a lifetime in diving. Rod takes the reader on a spellbinding and gripping journey from first beginnings as a novice scuba diver. Told in intimate detail with a beguiling sense of self-deprecating humour, he recounts epic dives on some of the most fabulous shipwrecks around the world. Terrifying first explorations of virgin shipwrecks far offshore, lost in time and enshrouded in darkness, cram the pages.
