We know the surface of the moon and Mars better than the Earth because most of our world is hidden in permanent darkness under the oceans. Here is the remarkable tale of the pioneering Canadian inventors who took on a challenge as great as space exploration, involving deep diving subs, high pressure suits and robotics to explore our dark planet. Meet the innovative thinkers who led the way on a journey into truly deep space. --Bob McDonald, host of Quirks & Quarks British Columbia's contributions to increasing human access to the final frontier in the deep are magnificently chronicled in this comprehensive account by one of the best maritime writers in the world, Vickie Jensen. What sets this book apart is how it rightly focuses on the people who did this work, and those who continue to explore and work in the depths. Masterfully told, powerfully written, and wonderfully illustrated, this is a must-have, must-read book. --James Delgado, maritime archaeologist, explorer, author, and former director of the Vancouver Maritime Museum
