Diver (Tony Groom)

Diver is an honest, moving and sometimes hilarious account of a hair – raisingly exciting career, both in the Royal Navy and in 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 with a voice like Donald Duck, commuting to work through a hole in the floor in the freezing, black depths of the North Sea. With a foreword by Admiral Sir Jonathon Band and an after word by Commodore Michael Clapp.
