About This Book
A resourceful young diver and his father mount an expedition to recover a fortune from a newly located ocean wreck while rivals also stake a claim. Their quest threads between island exploration and deep-sea work, presenting shipboard storms, lightning strikes, dangerous wildlife, and encounters with hostile groups. Episodic setpieces include sinkholes, flooded caverns, battles with strange marine creatures, clashes between competing divers, and improvised rescues using diving apparatus. The narrative moves through repeated captures and escapes, mounting peril, and inventive problem solving before reaching the long-sought recovery of the submerged treasure.
