Just finished reading "Diving into Darkness" by Phillip Finch, its also called "Raising the Dead" in some places, I know because we got both versions as presents. Its about the discovery and recovery of the body of a diver from about 900 feet down in Bushman's Hole in South Africa. I'd seen the TV documentary, so knew the basic story, but the book adds another dimension to some of the technical details but particularly the personal aspects of all those involved.

Personally, I have no desire to push the limits those guys do, just not my scene, but I enjoyed the book and it did make me think a little about some of the diving I have done and how I may conduct some dives in the future.

Good book, highly recommend it!
