Warning for alcoholism, but great story. Lots of details about diving, and I found the story fascinating.

I did enjoy this one, lots of learning points too!
A story of trust - broken and regaining, diving - I know lots more now!, alcoholism.
I liked the info we were given on the diving, the U Boat, the U boat museum, fishing etc though I’m sure for some it will be too much.
However, we didn’t get much history on Lee or Bobby other than they had been lovers but Bobby couldn’t handle Lee’s drinking when it took of Lee. So Bobby kind of started off as the hard headed sod and really it was only at the end that he woke up to the fact that Lee is human and not a superman able to kick his addiction easily.
Lee wasn’t terribly sympathetic either, though his anxieties and worries about everything but especially Bobby diving off plan exacerbated his issues.
I found it a fairly even read despite a couple of potential angsty points, flowed well in the most part.
