Book Reviews of Neutral Buoyancy: Adventures in a Liquid World

Book Review: Kinda boring
Summary: 3 Stars

Can't say I loved it. I was expecting more thrilling stories about scuba diving, but it's more of a history of underwater exploration. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's not written terribly well either. There's a whole chapter on sponges; this is not riveting stuff.

You know what bugged me for some reason? When he talks about those old-school diving helmets with portholes in them and guys pumping air from the boat - you know, like from Tintin? - he visits some guys who still use them, but he doesn't try it himself. Why not? Jeez, dude, get in the game.
