It follows his progression from novice diver in the 1980s through the dangers of the deep air diving era and on to trimix diving in the 1990s where divers began to use commercial mixed breathing gases as the sport of technical diving was born.

He describes this and many other terrifying incidents in which he and his colleagues have come close to death.
