Description:
From Ancient Greece to Port Royal, Damian Le Bas embarks on a cultural exploration of diving, investigating sunken human ruins around the world and the marine life that thrives there now




'Literary and learned. It goes deep' AMY LIPTROT


'The most compelling and evocative of underwater odysseys' KATE HUMBLE


'The most captivating book on diving that I have ever read' MENSUN BOUND



Damian Le Bas explores the meaning we find in sunken ruins around the world in this spellbinding love letter to diving.




Thousands of years ago, an island off the Straits of Gibraltar went to war with ancient Athens. The battle was lost, and an earthquake cleaved the land in two. Overnight the island sank beneath the waves - or so legend tells.




As a young boy, Damian Le Bas was captivated by the story of the lost city of Atlantis. As an adult, he dreams of diving to discover its ruins. After the death of his father, torn between his lifelong desire and the taboo his Romany culture places on the ocean, he comes by chance across a dive shop. He can't help but go in.




Under the waves, Damian enters a breathtaking world. As he masters the skills of this exhilarating sport, diving with seals in the Farne Islands, exploring submerged Roman ruins in Naples and mapping the sunken city of Port Royal in Jamaica, he is entranced anew, by wonders both man-made and natural.




Plato's writings on Atlantis were a parable about the hubris of humankind; in witnessing our effects on oceans and ocean communities, Damian finds echoes of this in the modern world.

Well built under $50 watch.
I got this Casio as my first Casio as I've worn watches since I was a teenager, using non brand sport watches and eventually graduating to fancy Japanese watches. Now I found myself not wanting to use those to put on wear on them because they are automatic and require some maintenance, so I figured it was time I got my first Casio. I was skeptical at first because I knew I wanted a Casio but the designs were all, dare I say generic (Or so I thought) so I ultimately wanted a G shock but, for the price and intended purpose I found this watch that just checked the boxes in design and "10-Year" battery. When I got it in the mail I was stocked, I hadn't felt a resin watch in years and set up was straight forward. Now after weeks of use I've found that through a bunch of me smacking it and hand washes, it still looks new, fortifying my satisfaction in buying this. Can recommend.

Este reloj es un encargo de un amigo. El corre en bicicleta y necesitaba tener un buen cronómetro para sus recorridos. Según su información. Está muy contento funciona y tiene las características que él buscaba en su reloj.
