Anyone who has been at sea has developed a keen respect for author, Clive Cussler. And any Cussler fan has developed a curiousity about sailing, diving, and saving the world.

I've been traveling on my boat, The Westender, since August and have had some of the best and yuckiest (thanks to hurricane Katrina) dives of my life. What's great after a day of exhausting diving? Kicking back with the campiest, most action-packed novels there are. Cussler totally captures the diving experience by telling all of the end-of-the-world action stores we all want to own up to (even though my biggest under water find in New Orleans was 12 toilets).

But we divers and/or Cussler fans know we'll all find our "Titanic" one day.
