Excerpt from the book: "Phil, who was holding the mooring line, put his thumb up, as did Billy, he was doing the dive. I spun the wheel to the port then starboard, positioning Sea Gem alongside the marker like a parked car. The loud horn blew and Billy jumped, disappearing into the deep indigo blue.
Hand over hand he pulled deeper and deeper, the pressure started squeezing his mask. A little blow through his nose equalised the pressure removing the discomfort. His ears were next. Holding his nose, he blew. There was a crackling sound then everything became louder. Noisy bubbles ran passed his ears and a little water seeped into his mask impairing his vision. He held his head back and pressed the top of his mask, while blowing through his nose to force the water out at the bottom. The salt water in his eyes was a regular discomfort and would be forgotten.
A piece of steel about eight inches in diameter came into view, pointing up like small flagpole. Old netting, instead of a flag, waved gently in the slight undercurrent. As he descended, two large round shapes appeared through the misty water. The shot line had passed between the boilers."
