‘Thanks to this little gem of a book, that confusing pile of scrap on the sea bed will just make a lot more sense – you’ll know where to look for stuff, how to interpret what you see and maybe even find that illusive ship’s bell! For me, that makes The Shipwreck Decoder an essential and invaluable resource for any diver.’
– Jason Brown, Bardo Photographic
