Yo Phats. Yes I did read Shadow DIvers. I know John and Richie. Never dove with them, but met them. They dove on the Surface Interval out of Delaware that I dove off of and they did some diving off of Cape May last summer. The book was great, but not exactly true in some parts. It caused some problems up here in the
diving community. But they really had no control over what the writer wrote. The U-852 was not sunk by its own torpedo that many have thought. New naval records recently found, show that the sub was sunk by a U.S. Destroyer and a U.S. Coast Guard cutter. As far as the amount of diving deaths, thats true. As do alot of divers have, including myself, you get the "China Fever" in attempting to go a little deeper, stay down a little longer in trying to get that artifact. Thats the Title of my new book, "China Fever". I get some real wood when I recover an old artifact that has been sitting on the bottom of the ocean inside a wreck for over 150 years. ;D
