This was a very fun read and can be completed in a day of flying or over a long weekend of rainy weather.
Mr. Shelnick describes some very harrowing ordeals: A cemmercial project in the Phillipines where he encounters an unexploded mine from WWII, an excauvation of a coral reef in Florida while they try to find Spanish gold and the rescue of some people from a sunken barge. All good stories.
The first story involves a recovery gone sideways.... I had to sort of wade through that first chapter since it wasn't the brain candy I was looking for, but after that, the book is a very enjoyable read and easy to get through.
There is one story that involves a mine and a couple miners, which had me wondering if it wasn't the inspiration for a Sea Hunt episode. I can't find any link though, between Tom Shelnick and Sea hunt on my Google searches.
If you get a chance, this is well worth the time.
