Summary: A must for the bed-side diver...
Review: I started this book with a bit of concern that it might not actually be that interesting...how wrong could I be! The Kittrell's manage to captivate at ever page turned and inspire both non-divers, new divers and veteran divers alike. The range of authors and time range is massive, vivid images are formed in your mind on actually being there. A must to read and has certainly earned a proud place in my library of books...Stephan Whelan [Editor], Deeper Blue The Online Magazine for Scuba Divers

Summary: Great anthology for divers and anyone who loves the water.
Review: This book is an anthology of great writing about the experience of scuba diving. It includes fiction, non-fiction and poetry from some really fine authors writing about things they obviously care deeply about. The selections were carefully chosen and artfully arranged. The writers include some obvious choices, like Peter Benchley of "Jaws" fame, but they also include some less-obvious choices, like the humorist Dave Barry. All in all, it is a great book for anyone who loves to dive -- or thinks they might love it.

Summary: A fun and thought provoking collection
Review: This is a great book. As an avid diver, I was glad to find some literature out there that centered around this activity. There is quite a variety of work here...poetry, comical writing, technical stories, etc. and each is enjoyable. I recommend this book to anyone who dives and anyone who thinks they might want to take up the activity for themselves. It just might be the push that your friend needs to take a certification course!

Summary: Outstanding book for when you can't be diving
Review: This is my new favorite book of the past five years. The stories are varied, interesting, and real! It will put your mind in an underwater state. Often times, I imagined myself diving along side each storyteller. A must read for all divers.

Summary: A wonderful read for those who love diving or good writing!
Review: With "Downtime", the Kittrells have selected well-known and obscure works by a wide range of good writers. For a non-diver, like myself, the selections evoked some feeling for what it must be like out there in the deep. For divers, the selections must bring back great memories. This is a wonderful book!
