Divers and Diving is a vintage book on diving, looking in detail at its history and developments in equipment, technique, and purpose. With detailed descriptions of every aspect of diving as well as interesting accounts of notable historical dives and salvage operations, this volume constitutes a must-have for those with an interest in the history and evolution of diving. Contents include: Diving in Olden Days , What Water Pressure Means , The Invention of the Diving Suit , Down Goes the Diver , Divers at Work , 'The Dangers of Diving , The All-Metal Diving Dress , The Diving Bell , How Ships are Salved , Salving Ships Upside Down , Raising an American Submarine , The Treasure of the Laurentic , etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.
