Summary
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.

An awesome listen. really insightful into the adventure and danger of deep diving.
From the origins through to the evolution of tech diving, its all here.
It's makes you think that the best diving period is over but probably for the best.

Review by someone who knows nothing about diving
I thought the opening chapter was compelling. I was interested to learn about the wrecks, their dangers, and the technicalities of deep water diving. I was less interested in the interpersonal relationships and politics between the various people.
I recommend listening to a preview before downloading, as the Narrator has a unique voice and style.
