Expedition Deep Ocean: The First Descent to the Bottom of All Five Oceans by Josh Young

4.0

Victor Vescovo was determined to be the first person to reach the bottom of each ocean. In order to do so, he had to build a submarine that was capable of withstanding the pressures of the deep. This book takes you on the journey of the idea, the planning, messes, and of course, the adventure.

I really enjoyed this book. It was interesting to hear the backstory behind the plan to reach the bottom of all five oceans. It was cool to hear about the dive near the Titanic too, as the history of that ship has long captured many readers.

Great read, especially if you enjoy natural history.
