Beneath the Waves: A Global History of Diving is the ultimate deep dive into humankind’s relationship with the ocean—from ancient pearl divers to modern saturation missions and scuba exploration. Blending compelling storytelling, first-hand accounts, and over 2,000 years of history, Oliver Greyson takes listeners on a sweeping, global journey beneath the surface of our world’s waters.
Explore the origins of free diving in ancient Greece and Japan, the evolution of diving bells and early helmets, and the breakthroughs that made modern scuba possible. Meet legendary figures like Jacques Cousteau, wartime frogmen, sponge divers, and aquanauts who risked everything to go deeper. This meticulously researched, engagingly written book weaves together global cultures, underwater innovation, daring salvage missions, and environmental awakening.
Whether you’re a diver, maritime historian, adventure lover, or ocean enthusiast, this is your definitive chronicle of diving’s past, present, and future.

Packed with true stories, historic milestones, and cultural traditions.
