What They're Saying

Critics Review

‘A “book of the moment”… An exciting and emotional read, and Olsen has made it an easy one… This breath-taking story is well worth the relatively short time it will take you to read.’– Divernet.com

‘Absolutely gripping… a very well-crafted, accurate account of an improbable rescue that deserves far more recognition than it originally received - and is well worth a read.’– DIVE magazine

‘Fascinating non-fiction… gripping and scary… a story worthy of Harrison’s perseverance and the miracle of his saving.’– Undercurrent.org

‘Wow! What a story… It’s not only a story that will touch the hearts of divers but is also a great read for anyone who has not been to or under the sea at all.’- Scubaverse.com
