The Last Dive: A Father and Son's Fatal Descent into the Ocean's Depths Hardcover – Import, 3 October 2000

From the various diving / deep wreck books that I have read, I found this one the best written book. A personal story about father and son, and diving adventure, but never one sided, since the story is entertaining with personal experience from the writer, not overdone, and a lot of tech dive history comes along, with interesting facts from the development of the deep wreck diving community, and other stuff that was interesting to me as an instructor, but also will be good to read for regular divers or anyone interested in this topic. Read it 17 years ago, and again last year, never boring.

A book which told the story of the Rouse family with all the good and bad bits. It opened up my eyes to the world of deep water scuba diving as it was in the early 90’s and just after, the lengths and danger some people will go to in a bid to fur fill the dreams, which in many cause they sadly paid for with their lives.This is a really good book which, once I started to read found it very difficult to put down

Avid dive book reader and diver for over 50 years, this is THE book of it's genre that did it for me. I've never been more captivated by the story Bernie tells of the father-son team and the author's own mishaps. The best dive adventure book.

A maior parte do livro é sobre assuntos correlatos e outros nem tanto. A descrição do acidente e a análise de suas causas são um capítulo desproporcionalmente pequeno.

Excellent roman, ayant rencontré des proches de la famille, le livre est fidèle à ce qui c'est passé.Un livre qui vous tient en haleine jusqu'au bout, vous prends aux tripes, et vous passionne en vous emportant dans le monde de la plongée technique. Que vous soyez un nouveau plongeur, un avide lecteur de romans historiques, d'aventures sous-marines, ou un instructeur de plongée, vous trouverez ce récit fascinant.Il fait réfléchir sur les risques, dangers encourus, sur la plongée en tant que tel, la passion que l'on peut vivre en allant sous l'eau, et sur le pourquoi on continue à le faire.j'ai pris le livre, et j'ai été un associable pendant 48 heures le temps de le finir... Bernie Chowdhury est un excellent écrivain, mais surtout une personne qui sait de quoi il parle, étant un plongeur émérite également.
