The Darkness Beckons

The History and Development of Cave Diving

Martyn Farr

Forward by Bill Stone

Cave-Diving skills allow extended exploration of flooded cave systems on land and under the sea. This is an extreme sporting activity demanding precise calculation and judgment plus supreme coolness under stress. From the early heavy diving suits then wartime frogman techniques, equipment, knowledge and skill has steadily developed over the years to allow the most extended underwater passages to be explored. This highly dramatic and eventful saga is described in this definitive account. This 1991 second edition was updated in 2000 by a 24pp supplement bringing the story up to 1999 (available separately on request for £ 5.50).
