Product Description

Synopsis
In 1992 father-son diving duo - Chris and Chrissy Rouse - died tragically in an expedition to the recently discovered Second World War U-boat, the U-Who. Their deaths were the result of what divers dread most, decompression sickness, commonly called "the bends". In this book the author recreates this terrible event in an effort to understand it and shed light on man's obsession with the unknown and the extreme. Through the story of the Rouses' lives and deaths, as well as through accounts of other expeditions, he aims to capture the ethos of the diving world, the impulse to explore and the constant spectre of death.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tremendously well written book of conciousness, 14 May 2002
By A Customer
Following the adventures that lead 2 very experienced divers to their final descent, did not scare me out of the diving sport, but will always be shooting me messages and remind me to practise the sport within safety limits as clearly stated on my course. Not only did the Bicker Bros leave an example of excellent records,... they tragically remind the diving world to never exceed their limits. This book is a no-stopper. It is excellent material for every diver out there. See how your own enthousiasme can carry you away, recognise it and reconsider the risks before you actually do something unexpected that might get you killed.
Diving will never be the same for you.... it will be safer and more enjoyable by the ones who love you and ultimately yourself.

MUST READ!!!!!!!!
