Submerged: Adventures of America's Most Elite Underwater Archeology Team

by: Daniel Lenihan
Sometimes it's hard to tell by the title what a book is all about. "Submerged -- Adventures of America's Most Elite Underwater Archeology Team" certainly sounds interesting, but I wasn't quite sure about to the exact nature of the volume. Turns, out it is the recollection of the founder and former chief of the United States National Park Service Submerged Cultural Resources Unit, a group of National Park Service divers, scientists and other professionals seeking to document and catalog shipwrecks.

Caverns Measureless to Man

by: Sheck Exley
Long out of print and very hard to obtain, it was great to see this book re-issued and available through Amazon.

This is an excellent book, well written and a great 'read'. It is an autobiographical account of the cave diving exploits of Sheck Exley, but also comprises a very good history of beginning cave diving in Florida, Mexico and some other areas. The extensive descriptions of the many Florida and Mexico caves was most appreciated - especially in light of what can be read now on various internet diving forums.

The Essentials of Cave Diving: Jill Heinerth's Guide to Cave Diving

by: Jill Heinerth

The Essentials of Cave Diving is a must for the student cave diver and a refreshing tool for those of us who teach the discipline. I am retired from teaching but wish that Jill's book had been available for my students when I was teaching. . It is an excellent tool and damn good fun for us old troglodytes. The generous use of photos and graphics make it both more readable and inspiring. While I do not teach anymore I still explore caves and enjoy keeping up with my colleagues around the world.

The Taming of the Slough

by: Sheck Exley, Gerald J. Murphy, Michael Poucher, Sandra Poucher
It is what it is - a detailed book about Peacock Springs and some of the other U/W caves of north Florida. It is detailed, well researched book on a specific cave system, from a scuba divers point of view. If you want to learn about this area - might be the ONLY book you can get - hence it is invaluable. Has sections on the biology of caves, geology, maps of caves, past explorers, etc.
I wish they'd spend more time on specifics of all the divers who died in these caves - just to keep the many amateur divers out of them and alive!
