This book was a lot of fun, and inspiring. I didn’t enjoy the last two chapters, didn’t feel much was happening just stating facts about technology trying to do interviews. 

I loved the beginning about the history or diving and submarines. I especially enjoyed the explanation of Boyle’s law and how it is applied to diving. I can’t get that out of my head, and I want to explore that more. the beginning of the book was very inspiring and lit a spark.
