  Stars Beneath the Sea: The Extraordinary Lives of the Pioneers of Diving
Stars Beneath the Sea: The Extraordinary Lives of the Pioneers of Diving 
The stories of some of the most brave, brilliant, and eccentric diving pioneers. Meet Guy, who invented snorkelling and loved his wife enough to shoot her; Roy, who wore a bucket over his head and stole a coral reef; Bill, who wearied of fishing with dynamite and turned to sealing himself in a metal coffin and dangling half a mile deep in the ocean; and Cameron, who descended to 200 feet without breathing equipment to see if his lungs would burst. As well, this book provides the complete history of diving, from spear fishermen to conservationists, from treasure hunters to archaeologists.
