"Mammoth Book of the Deep"
Just finished the book "The Mammoth Book of the Deep" (ed Jon E. Jones, 2007). It has ~500 pages of 30 dive related stories taken from Vintage dive books ranging from Beebe, Diole, Guy Gilpatric, and Cousteau to Sylvia Earl diving in the late 1970's. There are a few from WW2 including one from a German (Heinze Schaeffer, U-Boat Captain, Junio Borghese (Italian). It’s a good way to see who you like without much of a time commitment. I liked the Heinze Schaeffer chapter I just ordered the original book.
“A skin diver is a fellow who pulls on a pair of fancy swimming trunks, some rubber fins, a diving mask and canvas gloves, then fills his lungs with air and noses down into the ocean looking for two fisted trouble.”
