Hey Greg! How about a forum category about books that are somehow related to diving, either fiction or non-fiction? I got this idea from one of the forums below. That would be cool! Sandra

Good Idea...

I’ll bet that many folks are not even aware that there are quite a few good books in print dealing with diving and underwater exploration (both fiction and non-fiction).

P.S. I still think that Dirk Pitt is better than James Bond....

Until I see a Dirk Pitt movie I can’t agree!

I just added a Book category to the Forum, give it about 2 hours to update and show in the drop down menu. Have fun!

Dirk Pitt is better than James Bond, See Sahara, or Raise the Titanic. Cussler will be making more of his bood into movies, as soon an s they do it accoring to what is written in his books.

This is awesome! I wasn’t aware that those movies were based on Cussler’s books. I’ll have to check it out. I’ll also check out the site for the book discussion. Maybe we could start one here. Although I love the underwater detective genre (being a diver), any adventure/detective/murder mystery types are good as well. Is anybody currently reading a good book? I’m reading When The Wind Blows by James Patterson. I do like his books although it might be a little too weird for some. :)
