This is one of the Cave Diving Series of 21 E-book Chapters that Explores the Lure of Underwater Labyrinths.
BOOK 1 20,000 YEARS IN A CAVE – Join French explorer Casteret as he swims through a water lock into a dry cave last inhabited by Early Man 20,000 years ago.
The author who built his own diving gear out of a World War II gas mask and 50 feet of air hose to explore a shipwreck near Lake Michigan in 1944, and who years later received the prestigious SSI Platinum Pro 5000 certification for making over 5,000 verified dives, now shows you never seen before sunken caverns once inhabited by Ice Age Man.
“… Those who think that exploring underwater caves is too exotic a pastime to be of much interest will change their minds after reading this work by Burgess… Of special poignancy is the author's recounting of the accidental death of a favorite diving companion. This is an interesting mix of adventure and archaeology that probes one of the earth's last frontiers.”--Publishers Weekly
“…it is easy to see why this book earned a 'Book of the Year' award from Forward Magazine... As a photographer, Burgess is able to add another dimension to this book... Burgess' photos cover many decades and many caves... Overall, the book is a delight, entertaining and an easy read. It's a great vacation book, full of adventure, divided into chapters that can easily stand alone or mesh together...[Burgess] masterfully glides the reader through tales of history that cavers and non-cavers will enjoy.” Susan Brillhart Book Review for IMMERSED, the International Technical Diving Magazine.
Thrilling stuff. Best of all you will live through all of these adventures…and not even get wet! Though you may end up a little breathless.
