On a foggy July evening in 1956, the Italian cruise liner Andrea Doria, bound for New York, was struck broadside by another vessel. In eleven hours, she would sink nearly 250 feet to the murky Atlantic Ocean floor. Thanks to a daring rescue operation, only 51 of more than 1,700 people died in the tragedy. But the Andrea Doria is still taking lives.
Considered the Mt. Everest of diving, the Andrea Doria is the ultimate deepwater wreck challenge. Over the years, a small but fanatical group of extreme scuba divers have investigated the Andrea Doria, pushing themselves to the very limits of human endurance to explore her - and not all have returned. Diver Kevin McMurray takes you inside this elite club with a hard, honest look at those who go deeper, farther, and closer to the edge than others would ever dream.
Deep Descent is the riveting true story of the human spirit overcoming human frailty and of fearsome, mortal risks traded for a hard-core adrenaline rush. Chronicling these adventures in his dramatic narrative, McMurray draws us deeper into the cold heart of the unforgiving sea, giving us a powerful vision of a place to which few will ever have the skills - or the courage - to go.

This book also covers many stories about the Doria from the perspective of the crew of the Seeker, one of the two main charters diving the Doria at this time. As well as a fairly thorough history of diving and the human foray into the black depths of the ocean, Deep Descent is good as a stand-alone read, but even better as part of a more robust understanding of not just diving, but of the skills and mindset of the deep diver.
A must read for every deep diver

We did the audiobook. I have read a variety of excellent books on this topic, and this just isn't one of them. This book details about a dozen various deaths and how they happened. Learning about their experiences was kept our attention. Where the author lost the amount of time he spent writing a soap opera that happened between various dive boat captains.
