Deadly Fathoms: Dive on Battleships and Aircraft Carriers at Bikini Atoll and Live to Talk About It!

Expedition Leader, Mike Harris, gives a behind-the-scenes look at how he led a team of professional divers and filmmakers to Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands, where they dove on American, German and Japanese warships that were sunk by atom bomb testing after WWII. 150-pages and 35 photographs provide a dramatic look at how they put dive equipment, two wet-subs and two decompression chambers on board a DC-6 named 'Bikini Gal', flew out to Majuro, capital of the Marshall Islands, and loaded it all onto an island freighter called the Mieco Queen. From Majuro they traveled to Wotje Atoll, Kwajalein Atoll and finally to Bikini, where they dove on the U.S. Battleship, Arkansas, the Japanese Battleship, Nagato, (Yamamoto's Flagship when he attacked Pearl Harbor) and the U.S. Aircraft Carrier, Saratoga, where they sat in cockpits of Navy dive Bombers, still tied down on the hanger deck. Somehow, they survived the deep dives, sharks and radiation and lived to talk about it. Deadly Fathoms is truly an amazing adventure. Many divers have exclaimed, "Deadly Fathoms" is the greatest dive film of all time!"Read more
