Nearly half a century ago, the ocean liner "Andrea Doria" was sunk in a tragic collision off the east coast of the United States. Her sea-shattered hulk now lies silent in 235 feet of water in an area called the Bermuda Triangle of the Northeast, well beyond the reach of all but the most skilled and courageous scuba divers.
Every year, more divers accept the "Andrea Doria's" challenge, and some do not survive the attempt. Told with a vivid and starling clarity, 'Deep Descent' is the riveting true story of those who face the danger and conquer their fear, and of the tragedy that can result when courage is not enough. It is a story of courage and bravado, of 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.
