David Mearns, a renowned shipwreck explorer, has uncovered some of the world's most intriguing and elusive shipwrecks. From the mighty battlecruiser HMS Hood to the crumbling wooden skeletons of Vasco da Gama's 16th-century fleet, David has searched for and found dozens of sunken vessels in every ocean of the world.

The Shipwreck Hunter is an account of David's most intriguing and fascinating finds. It details both the meticulous research and the mid-ocean stamina and courage required to find a wreck miles beneath the sea, as well as the moving human stories that lie behind each of these oceanic tragedies.

Combining the derring-do of Indiana Jones with the precision of a surgeon, in The Shipwreck Hunter, David Mearns opens a porthole into the shadowy depths of the ocean.

David's journey as a shipwreck explorer began in his early twenties when he stumbled upon a photograph of a shipwreck in the Mediterranean. Intrigued by the mystery and allure of the underwater world, he began to research and explore shipwrecks on his own.

He has also had to navigate through complex legal and regulatory frameworks, which can make it difficult to access and explore shipwrecks.

Despite these challenges, David remains committed to his work. He believes that shipwrecks hold valuable insights into the history and culture of the world, and that by exploring them, we can better understand the past and shape the future.

In The Shipwreck Hunter, David shares his incredible journey as a shipwreck explorer, detailing his most intriguing and fascinating finds. He also shares the moving human stories that lie behind each of these oceanic tragedies, highlighting the resilience and determination of the people who have survived these disasters.

Through his work, David has inspired countless people to explore the underwater world and to appreciate the beauty and fragility of our oceans. He has shown that by working together, we can protect and preserve these precious resources for generations to come.
