Cover Notes
Diver is an honest, moving and sometimes hilarious account of a hair-raisingly exciting career, both in the Royal navy and commercial deep-sea diving - training the most unlikely of raw recruits... handling unexploded bombs while under air attack... living for months in a pressurised bottle witha voice like Donald Duck... commuting to work through a hole in the floor in the freezing, black depths of the North Sea.
Reviews
Excellent
A fascinating account of the role of the deep-sea diver, this book fills a long-present gap in the Falklands library, providing a well-written easily readable account of what it was like aboard those ships off the Falklands as well as the dangerous work undertaken by the Navy clearance divers during the conflict and beyond. Diver serves to illustrate the dangerous work of the deep-sea diver in both military and civilian life and is something you will want to finish once you start.
Excellent
DIVER is an absolutely fascinating insight into a little known elite group of men within the Royal Navy. A boys will be boys account of a most rewarding career. Both sad and hilarious, Tony tells of his role as a specialist and the never to be broken bonds of friendship that came as a result.
This story will surely stand with the best of Military history literature past and future, once you start reading this book, I challenge you to put it down.
Mick.
