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.
