In eleven hours, she would sink nearly 250 feet to the murky Atlantic Ocean floor. Thanks to a daring rescue operation, only fifty-one of more than 1,700 people died in the tragedy. But the \u003ci\u003eAndrea Doria\u003c\/i\u003e is still taking lives.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n Considered the Mount Everest of diving, the \u003ci\u003eAndrea Doria\u003c\/i\u003e is the ultimate deepwater wreck challenge. Over the years, a small but fanatical group of extreme scuba divers have investigated the \u003ci\u003eAndrea Doria,\u003c\/i\u003e pushing themselves to the very limits of human endurance to explore her—and not all have returned. Diver Kevin McMurray takes you inside this elite club with a hard, honest look at those who go deeper, farther, and closer to the edge than others would ever dream.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eDeep Descent\u003c\/i\u003e is the riveting true story of the human spirit overcoming human frailty and of fearsome, mortal risks traded for a hard-core adrenaline rush. Chronicling these adventures in his page-turning narrative and in dozens of dramatic photos, McMurray draws us deeper into the cold heart of the unforgiving sea, giving us a powerful vision of a place to which few will ever have the skills—or the courage—to go.","brand":"Print on demand - Ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46871670128798,"sku":"HPC-9780743400633","price":29.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780743400633.jpg?v=1779618879","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780743400633","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
