| Abstract | The little-known true story of the first deep dive into the ocean. One June 6, 1930, engineer Otis Barton and explorer Will Beebe dove into the ocean inside a hollow metal ball called the Bathysphere. They knew dozens of things might go wrong. A tiny leak could shoot pressurized water straight through the men like bullets! A single spark could cause their oxygen tanks to explode! No one had ever dived lower than a few hundred feet...and come back. But Otis and Will were determined to become the first people to see what the deep ocean looks like.-- From dust jacket. |
