    Good Points: I found the book to be very informative, with enough history to set the back ground for the wrecks being dived


    Bad Points: Colour picture size should be revised to larger format on future editions


    General comments: Any enjoyable read, broken down into manageable chapters, each reliving a particular tale/adventure.
    Into the Abyss: Diving to Adventure in the Liquid World clearly explains the evolution from sport diving to 'technical' diving using mixed gases in clear concise terms.
    A must for wreck divers/explorers as well as naval history enthusiasts
