...Hi Laurie,<br />Thank you for visiting with me again. <br /><br />The difference between diving for fun and the teams that work these wreck recoveries is the hard work involved. The teams must deal with strong, fast currents even when all looks like glass on the surface, it can be chaos below. They're moving heavy ship planking and hammering away at the concrete like concretion on cargo. I really respect what they do and I'm a little envious I didn't think to do something like this when I was younger:)<br />ChrisChris Karlsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14325423894402727465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926345421909415577.post-90189310289515816952013-02-23T19:55:44.113-05:002013-02-23T19:55:44.113-05:00I have only snorkeld before, I am too scared to sc...I have only snorkeld before, I am too scared to scuba.

I worked closely with her so she knew my aesthetic and the feel I wanted. <br /><br />Down the road, I plan to "redo" my covers for Heroes Live Forever and Journey in Time.

I just don't have a knack for it. <br /><br />For my books, I'm very lucky to have a dear friend who is an archaelogical diver (retired now). He answered my many, many questions and was a wealth of info. He lives on the Aegean and even when the dive season is over, he still goes out all the time. <br />Chris K.Chris Karlsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14325423894402727465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926345421909415577.post-80344129389993060612013-02-23T11:29:25.218-05:002013-02-23T11:29:25.218-05:00Sounds like a terrific book!
