4.9/5 (10228 ratings)

Description:In a tremendous sea battle in 1702 a Spanish armada carrying millions of dollars' worth of gold and silver was sent to the bottom of Vigo Bay, Spain. Two hundred and fifty years later-not averse to having a few million in doubloons-John Potter decided to use the modern means of treasure hunting to recover that sunken treasure which has attracted many expeditions in the past. He assembled a group of young skin divers of assorted nationalities, collected every scrap of information on the armada, studied the weather and sea conditions at the time of the battle, and-the hunt was on! The ensuing adventures of these treasure divers was sometimes dangerous, sometimes hilarious, often frustrating-but always exciting. Here, in pictures and text, is a truly engrossing account of all that happened to the group. There is drama and beauty in the author's almost poetic descriptions of the underwater world; there is the gripping excitement of the treasure itself; and there is the uproarious extracurricular life led by the young team when they went ashore. And, for the reader, there is the overwhelming sense of participating in a real adventure.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
