{"product_id":"9780743400633","title":"Deep Descent: Adventure and Death Diving the Andrea Doria","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn a foggy July evening in 1956, the Italian cruise liner \u003ci\u003eAndrea Doria,\u003c\/i\u003e bound for New York, was struck broadside by another vessel. In eleven hours, she would sink nearly 250 feet to the murky Atlantic Ocean floor. Thanks to a daring rescue operation, only 51 of more than 1,700 people died in the tragedy. But the \u003ci\u003eAndrea Doria\u003c\/i\u003e is still taking lives. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConsidered the Mt. Everest of diving, the \u003ci\u003eAndrea Doria\u003c\/i\u003e is the ultimate deepwater wreck challenge. Over the years, a small but fanatical group of extreme scuba divers have investigated the \u003ci\u003eAndrea Doria,\u003c\/i\u003e pushing themselves to the very limits of human endurance to explore her — and not all have returned. Diver Kevin McMurray takes you inside this elite club with a hard, honest look at those who go deeper, farther, and closer to the edge than others would ever dream. \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eDeep Descent\u003c\/i\u003e is the riveting true story of the human spirit overcoming human frailty and of fearsome, mortal risks traded for a hard-core adrenaline rush. Chronicling these adventures in his page-turning narrative and in dozens of dramatic photos, McMurray draws us deeper into the cold heart of the unforgiving sea, giving us a powerful vision of a place to which few will ever have the skills — or the courage — to go.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atria Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47014867337456,"sku":"9780743400633","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780743400633_p0.jpg?v=1763628757","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780743400633","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
