Shadow Divers

In the tradition of Into Thin Air, The Perfect Storm and Jon Krakauer’s Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman comes a true tale of adventure in which two friends risk their lives to solve a great historical mystery–and make history themselves. John Chatterton and Richie Kohler are volunteered deep wreck divers who test themselves against treacherous currents, braving depths that induce hallucinatory effects and navigating through wreckage as perilous as a minefield. But in the fall of 1991, not even these courageous divers are prepared for what they find 230 feet below the surface, in the frigid Atlantic waters sixty miles off the coast of New Jersey: a World War II German U-boat, its ruined interior a macabre wasteland of twisted metal, tangled wires and human bones–all buried under decades of accumulated sediment.
