Shadow Divers

Shadow Divers is a great book for all you armchair adventurers. It's a non-fiction account of the divers who discover a wrecked Nazi U-Boat off the coast of New Jersey. In 230 feet of water, there are only a few wackos crazy enough to dive something like this in scuba gear. The story revolves mainly around two of the divers who become totally obsessed with figuring out which U-Boat it is. The problem is that there is no record anywhere of a U-Boat going down off of New Jersey. They scour every source, and they go on dive after dangerous dive to try to recover some artifact that will identify the sub. People die, but the search must go on. Terrific fun to read, but I think I'm going to pass on wreck diving as my next hobby. For those of you who read Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea, another fun adventure, I thought this one was even better.
