Diving Pioneers and Innovators
If you’re interested in the history of diving, this is a great book full of information right from the mouth of those who are pioneers and innovators of the recreational and commercial diving world.
The content is rooted in face-to-face interviews with a stellar group of first and second generation divers who are pioneers in their fields. As the title states, some are also innovators who have developed garage ideas into multi national companies, and brought about advancements in the equipment that we use today.
