The diver's tale

Stars Beneath the Sea is a marvellous book. Its stars are the
pioneers of diving, and from the first page you are snatched into a racing
current of excitement, adventure and discovery. Trevor Norton’s book teems with
anecdote about the mostly eccentric experimenters and explorers. He writes with
humour too. Take it one chapter at a time or you might get the bends. Published
