Diving

This is a little off topic, but I just read a great dive book called Shadow Divers. It is about wreck divers working off the coast of New Jersey in the early ninetees trying to locate and then identify an old German U2 boat. The thing that got me thinking about Winnipesaukee is that thet were working in 200 to 230 foot waters, about the same depth as Winnipesaukee's deepest point. It was noted that these depths are considered extremely dangerous, especially when using pure oxygen. Have any of the divers on the forum read the book?
