In eleven hours, she would sink nearly 250 feet to the murky Atlantic Ocean floor. Thanks to a daring rescue operation, only fifty-one of more than 1,700 people died in the tragedy. But the \u003ci\u003eAndrea Doria\u003c\/i\u003e is still taking lives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Considered the Mount Everest of diving, the \u003ci\u003eAndrea Doria\u003c\/i\u003e is the ultimate deepwater wreck challenge. Over the years, a small but fanatical group of extreme scuba divers have investigated the \u003ci\u003eAndrea Doria, \u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eDeep Descent\u003c\/i\u003e 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 page-turning narrative and in dozens of dramatic photos, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kevin F.
