This book is about underwater life—of the human kind—written by a fine writer with genuine sea credentials. Though he cruises the ocean’s surface these days aboard a sailing yacht, Bill Streever spent countless hours below the surface in his earlier careers as a commercial diver and research biologist. Combining archival research, one-on-one interviews, and a bit of gonzo journalism, he examines various efforts, some fool-hardy and others heroic, to extend the range of human experience to the subsea world.

INTERNATIONAL NEWS
In 2012, acclaimed oceanographer Paul Snelgrove told a TEDTalk audience that the next frontier wasn’t in our skies, but rather underwater. “We know more about the surface of the Moon and about Mars than we do about the deep sea floor despite the fact that we have yet to extract a gram of food, a breath of oxygen, or a drop of water from those bodies,” he said.

When American explorer Victor Vescovo made it to the bottom of the Mariana Trench last month, the record for the world's deepest manned submersible dive wasn't the only one to fall. His craft also had three Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep Professional wrist watches strapped to the outside, and these specially made timepieces were subjected to a pressure of 1,085.10 ATM (15,946.5 psi) as they reached a depth of 10,928 m (35,853 ft), making them the deepest diving watches in history.
