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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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\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.
