To be completely forgotten after giving one's life to mankind's perpetual search for the hidden mysteries of nature and science is a horrendous undertaking. Jim Limbrick successfully turns this aside with his Requiem. Much of the book contains technical details such as I and so many professional Divers will welcome but it also lists the human errors which took the lives of the pioneer divers of the North Sea. At 80 years of age and the Author of 'Last of the Hard Hat Divers 1 and 2 I am pleased to endorse Jim Limbrick's book to all of your readers. Bob Sinclair.

This book is essential reading for those involved in commercial diving equipment, training and operations.
It is a good independent compilation of the fatal accidents in commercial diving in the North Sea: a very useful tool in assessing new safety technologies and procedures - the extent to which they would or would not have influenced accidents of the past.
Many of these accidents occur through procedural foul-ups, but the lessons that are there are provided in a form that all involved in commercial diving can use to make commercial diving safer in the future.

Bought this for my husband as his father was killed in a diving accident in 1974. His father is mentioned in the book and it gave another insight into the tragedy and others like it. My husband is not a reader but he will read this book.
