Into the Abyss, the first volume in The Diving Trilogy, is a captivating collection of real-life diving adventures from Rod's long and diverse diving career. It traces his journey from a novice diver in the 1980s to the dangers of deep air diving and then to trimix diving in the 1990s, where divers began using commercial mixed breathing gases as the sport of technical diving was born. This opened up vast, previously inaccessible, swathes of the seabed, ushering in a great era of discovery of virgin shipwrecks, lost in time. Rod takes the reader to famous shipwreck sites around the world, from the sunken Japanese Fleet at the bottom of Truk Lagoon and Palau in the Pacific to diving the third-largest whirlpool in the world, the Corryvreckan Whirlpool off the west coast of Scotland. He describes this and many other terrifying incidents in which he and his colleagues have come close to death. The book is filled with danger, drama, and excitement and chronicles his all-consuming passion, taking the reader on a spellbinding journey beneath the waves.
