Historia
Most incidents and accidents are down to "human error". Unfortunately, human error is normal and common, and we can't get rid of it. However, we can reduce the likelihood of one of those - "oh shit moments" - if we have an understanding of human factors and develop our non-technical skills. This is a globally unique book containing decades of research and practice from high-risk domains translated into the world of recreational and technical diving.

In 1991, acting on a tip from a local fisherman, two scuba divers discovered a sunken German U-boat, complete with its crew of 60 men, not too far off the New Jersey coast. The divers, realizing the momentousness of their discovery, began probing the mystery. Over the next six years, they became expert and well-traveled researchers, taught themselves German, hunted for clues in Germany, and constructed theories corrective of the history books, all in an effort to identify this sunken U-boat and its crew.

Rick Bettua should be dead. Many times over. The retired US Navy master diver suffered a devastating attack by a 12-foot bull shark that shredded his thigh from his knee to his hip. By the time he reached the shore 90 minutes later, he’d bled out, he had no pulse and wasn’t breathing. Yet, emergency medical workers didn’t give up. His miraculous recovery in late 2020 was just the most recent of his numerous underwater life-and-death experiences.

Finding and identifying a pirate ship is the hardest thing to do under the sea. But two men—John Chatterton and John Mattera—are willing to risk everything to find the Golden Fleece, the ship of the infamous pirate Joseph Bannister. At large during the Golden Age of Piracy in the seventeenth century, Bannister should have been immortalized in the lore of the sea—his exploits more notorious than Blackbeard’s, more daring than Kidd’s. But his story, and his ship, have been lost to time.

On a foggy July evening in 1956, the Italian cruise liner Andrea Doria, bound for New York, was struck broadside by another vessel. In eleven hours, she would sink nearly 250 feet to the murky Atlantic Ocean floor. Thanks to a daring rescue operation, only 51 of more than 1,700 people died in the tragedy. But the Andrea Doria is still taking lives. Considered the Mt. Everest of diving, the Andrea Doria is the ultimate deepwater wreck challenge.

Resumen del Editor
Brought to you by Penguin.
THE ENTHRALLING INSIDE STORY OF THE THAI CAVE RESCUE
'They were utterly alone inside the mountain, isolated from the rest of the world. They might as well have been on another planet . . .'
In July 2018, twelve boys and their football coach disappeared into Tham Luang Cave in Thailand.
Trapped miles beneath the surface, not even the Thai Navy SEALs had the skills to bring them to safety. With the floodwater rising rapidly, time was running out . . .
Any hope of survival rested on Rick Stanton, a retired Midlands firefighter with a living room full of homemade cave-diving equipment. As unlikely as it seemed, to those in the know, Rick and his partner, John Volanthen, were regarded as the A-team for exactly this kind of mission.
The Thai Cave Rescue was the apex of a lifelong obsession, requiring every ounce of skill and ingenuity accumulated by Rick through a near forty-year pursuit of the unknown.
While the world held its breath, Rick, John and their assembled team raced against time in the face of near impossible odds. There was simply no precedent for what they were attempting to do . . .
In Aquanaut Rick reveals the real story of the cave rescue for the first time. And of a life lived without compromise in which any mistake could have been his last. It's an edge-of-your-seat story of courage and conviction that will take you deep into the most remote and unforgiving places on the planet, told with humour, unflinching honesty, and a relentless drive for adventure.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"The British divers are all heroes." (Clive Cussler)
"A case study in courage." (Ron Howard, Oscar-winning director of Apollo 13)
"The Thai cave rescue was phenomenally dangerous, and the work of true heroes." (inews)

Historia
Hans Florine is a big-wall climbing legend in his own time. He holds the speed record on the Nose route of El Capitan, a 3,000-foot granite cliff in Yosemite Valley that's considered the Everest of the rock-climbing world. But Florine's story is not one of super-human athletic prowess; it's one of persistence and dogged determination. In 30 years of climbing, he's ascended the Nose a mind-blowing, death-defying 100 times, more than anyone else ever has, and most likely ever will. In On the Nose, Florine describes the most dangerous, pivotal, and inspirational of those climbs.

Historia
When the San José mine collapsed outside of Copiapó, Chile, in August 2010, it trapped thirty-three miners beneath thousands of feet of rock for a record-breaking sixty-nine days. After the disaster, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Héctor Tobar received exclusive access to the miners and their tales, and in Deep Down Dark, he brings them to haunting, visceral life. We learn what it was like to be imprisoned inside a mountain, understand the horror of being slowly consumed by hunger, and experience the awe of working in such a place-underground passages filled with danger.

Amazing first venture into memoirs!
I really enjoyed this. I don't read memoirs ever, but I'm glad I started here. The narration worked well and had a great flow and I do like how it built up, with stories being told between the Tham Luang rescue, which made for great pacing. The stories were fascinating, the problem solving, the danger. Actually I thought it was very, very similar to The Martian in a million ways: A man who constantly navigates a hostile environment that is constantly trying to kill him. The only way out is through that hostile environment is by solving one problem at a time. Better here because it's real. The adventures are the type I couldn't fathom having first hand because it all seems sort of miserable to anyone who doesn't have the acheivement-earned mindset or the do-it-to-say-you-did-it mindset, but then his mindset is very clearly built up so I was able to see his drive and motivation. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes entertainment to make brain-food go down. ;-)

Absolutely Excellent!
Seldom is a book worth my time to write a review. This one is.
We all know the story of the kids rescued from the cave in Thailand but this story takes us beyond and into the past of the rescue team.
We learn how they gained the skill set that made such a rescue possible. We also learn details that were not reported by the media during the rescue.
This author had my attention from the beginning and did not disappoint providing details balanced with back story and well represented the struggle of balance between the parties that had responded to the emergency.
The persons that read the story were also excellent in delivery.
I will, after a period, return to listen to this story again.

Great story about a real person
We think of heroes as extraordinary people, but Rick Stanton could be any one of us. He lived his life, went to work, chose a hobby and spent a great deal of time honing the skills his hobby required. And then…someone (13-someone’s to be more accurate) needed his help and he was able to use the skills he had honed through time and attention, and through his commitment and skill, and he saved those kids and their coach’s lives, and impacted the whole world, or anyone who read about or heard about or will read or hear about it. This is an amazing story, because it’s about all of us. It’s about us using what we have, what we know, what we do, to help someone else in a time of need. Incredible. And Rick still seems very humble through it all. I’m very touched by this story. Thank you for telling it.

Excellent story. Reads like an adventure novel.
I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book. I knew the basics of the Thai cave story, but not the details. This book told that story and so much more! It reads like a fictional adventure ( in a good way). Rick Stanton has led a very interesting life. His telling of his role in the rescue as well as the many explorations in his life that led up to his role in Thailand came across as modest and sincere.
The narrator does an excellent job and the author does an excellent job with his part of the narration.
I highly recommend this audible book.

Thrilling and True
Rick Stanton uses the Thai cave rescue of 12 boys and their soccer coach as the framework on which to hang a lifetime of underwater cave diving stories. He is open about his successes and failures and the real risks of cave diving as he goes on many rescues of other divers and the joy of exploration for its own sake. I was on the edge of my seat with every chapter.
Stanton reads the introduction and closing chapter with excellent narration by Don Gilet for the bulk of the book. A good choice by the publisher, as Stanton’s more halting style could drag down the excellent narrative if used for the entire 16 hrs.
Highly recommended.

Title is misleading
Rick Stanton is a world-class cave explorer and sump diver. If you want to learn about his background in cave exploration, and hear the rescue story from his pov, you’ll enjoy this book, though it is long winded at times. But if you’re attracted by the title “Aquanaut” to hear about a world-class scuba diver, like I was, you might be a bit disappointed. Caves are Rick’s first and only major love, and if they don’t get your blood pumping, there will be some pretty dry stretches in the narrative.

Gripping true life tale
Having just seen the Ron Howard production of Thirteen Lives, I was already captivated by this incredible story. Rick Staton's weaving of his life journey was skillful in laying the foundation of understanding why he and his partners were not only the ideal group to effect this rescue, but clearly the only group who had the skill set and experience to have been successful. The story is told in a way that held my interest throughout, and made it difficult to hit the pause button when I had to set it down to attend to my own life duties. This is defiywoeth your time to listen!
