Solid Brassis written the way one would imagine Bob Wick speaks. His conversational tone evokes the sensation that you are sitting in his living room, listening to him relate the history of commercial diving in California; the true adventures of Navy dive training; and oil-field and construction diving in the days when heavy gear was standard. Beyond the daily close calls and colorful history, however, this book conveys the camaraderie of the men who risked their lives for their jobs and dedicated themselves to each other. Wick's memoir serves as a worthy tribute to this special fraternity, the men without whom the diving industry would not be the same today
