The Last Dive

The Last Dive; a Father and Son’s Fatal Descent into the Ocean’s Depths.

A fascinating book appealing not just to divers but anyone interested in a tale of ordinary people testing their limits to extremes.

Seeking to uncover the secrets of a mysterious and undocumented World War 2 German U-boat that lay at 70 metres depth half a days trip out of New York, the Rouses paid the ultimate price for their determination and haste.

The story is told with clarity, eloquence and compassion by their close friend Bernie Chowdhury who also examines the powerful psychological dynamic in a father-and-son relationship under the test of extreme conditions.
