Great Shark Adventures: True Tales from the Deep

Adventure replete with thrills and chills - that`s what you get when you slip beneath the surf and go head-to-head with the world`s great sharks. In Great Shark Adventures, twenty-one scientists, deep-sea divers, photographers and film-makers, including Marty Snyderman, Howard Hall, Stan Waterman and Carl Roessler, recount their true-life stories of underwater terror. These expertly narrated stories will appeal to both shark aficionados and those with a casual interest in these fascinating creatures. The stories take place in locations from California to Western Australia. - "In the Jaws of Death", C. Leroy Finch finds himself gripped about the midsection by a hungry shark, only his steel SCUBA tanks prevent a tragedy. - In "Be Careful What You Ask For", Marty Snyderman and a fellow diver goof around in a school of hammerheads, demonstrating the thick-skinned humour of those who face down sharks for a living. - In Michael V. DeGruy`s "Near-Fatal Photo", a routine underwater session turns deadly when a shark rips into DeGruy`s camera arm.
