Summary: A Brief Picture of the enlisted mans' Old Navy
Comment: A surprising good read. This is a book of memories and should not be looked upon as a source of technical information. The description of the diving efforts from the enlisted diver's view point is first rate. The antics on libery provide a balance against the horrors experienced in salvage actions in the sunken battleships.
Rating: 5
Summary: A females take on the other side of the war effort..
Comment: I have limited knowledge about the attack on Pearl Harbor from history books and documentaries, and wanted a new point of view to read to prepare myself for the epic movie "Pearl Harbor" coming out Memorial Day 2001. Needless to say, I could not put the book down. The book was written so easily for a layperson unfamiliar with ship repair, salvage efforts and the work the men on the back line, so to speak, to understand the techniques and personal fear and strength that these divers endured. Shocking visuals, heart break of death, pride in work, commitment to the job, danger and opportunity for technique advancement all are described so well by the author.

Summary: A Great Preservation of History
Comment: I recieved Descent In to Darkness as a Christmas pressent from my sister. I could not stop reading the book. I have always been a huge history buff as well as a great interest in diving . Febuary of this year (2002) I went to Maui to visit my cousin. While in Maui I got my scuba certification. My last day we flew over to Pearl Harbor to see the USS Arizona. It was very moving because I had more of a conection to the Arizona due to Raymer's detailed report on Pearl Harbor and the Arizona in the salvage eforts to raise our Pacific Fleet.
