Chris and Chrissy Rouse, an experienced father-and-son scuba diving
team, hoped to achieve widespread recognition for their outstanding but
controversial diving skills. Obsessed and ambitious, they sought to solve
the secrets of a mysterious, undocumented World War II German U-boat that
lay under 230 feet of water, only a half-day's mission from New York Harbor.
In doing so, they paid the ultimate price in their quest for fame.
Bernie Chowdhury, himself an expert diver and a close friend of the
Rouses', explores the thrill-seeking world of deep-sea diving, including
its legendary figures, most celebrated triumphs, and gruesome tragedies.
By examining the diver's psychology through the complex father-and-son
dynamic, Chowdhury illuminates the extreme sport diver's push toward --
and sometimes beyond -- the limits of human endurance.
