A Father and Son's Fatal Descent into the Ocean's Depths.
On 12 October 1992 the world-class father and son diving duo - Chris Rouse and his only son Chrissy - died tragically in an expedition to a recently discovered Second World War U-boat, sunk off the east coast of the United states. Their deaths were the result of what divers dread most - decompression sickness, or "the bends".
The terrible story of the Rouses' last dive becomes the pivot to this gripping account of the big thrill, big risk world of deep-sea diving - its legendary figures, most celebrated triumphs and notorious tragedies.
Exploring the impulse towards darkness and the unknown, 'The Last Dive' will appeal to fans of gripping non-fiction such as 'The Perfect Storm' and 'Into Thin Air'.
