DIVERSION<br />
We've searched the internet for some great reads, no matter<br />
what your water passion is...<br />
No Barriers<br />
The Emerald Mile<br />
The Last Dive<br />
Erik Weihenmayer is no stranger to<br />
adversity. As the first and only blind<br />
person to summit Mount Everest, he<br />
continues to pursue seemingly impossible<br />
goals. While the title claims “No Barriers,”<br />
what it means for the rest of us is “No<br />
Excuses.” Erik’s tale is one of motivation<br />
and empowerment in pursuit of the best<br />
in everyone. It’s somewhat rare to find<br />
inspiring stories without braggadocio or<br />
emotional terrorism. This is one of them.<br />
And it’s happily infectious.<br />
the thrilling true tale of the fastest boat<br />
ride ever, down the entire length of the<br />
Colorado River and through the Grand<br />
Canyon, during the legendary flood of<br />
1983.<br />
In the spring of 1983, massive flooding<br />
along the length of the Colorado River<br />
confronted a team of engineers at the<br />
Glen Canyon Dam with an unprecedented<br />
emergency that may have resulted in the<br />
most catastrophic dam failure in history.<br />
In the midst of this crisis, the decision to<br />
launch a small wooden dory named “The<br />
Emerald Mile” at the head of the Grand<br />
Canyon, just fifteen miles downstream<br />
from the Glen Canyon Dam, seemed not<br />
just odd, but downright suicidal.<br />
Chris and Chrissy Rouse, an experienced<br />
father-and-son scuba diving team, hoped<br />
to achieve widespread recognition for their<br />
outstanding but controversial diving skills.<br />
Obsessed and ambitious, they sought to solve<br />
the secrets of a mysterious, undocumented<br />
World War II German U-boat that lay under<br />
230 feet of water, only a half-day's mission<br />
from New York Harbour. In doing so, they<br />
paid the ultimate price in their quest for<br />
fame. Bernie Chowdhury, himself an expert<br />
diver and a close friend of the Rouses',<br />
explores the thrill-seeking world of deepsea<br />
diving, including its legendary figures,<br />
most celebrated triumphs, and gruesome<br />
tragedies.<br />
Fifty Places to Paddle<br />
Before you Die<br />
Swimming to Antarctica<br />
A noted long-distance swimmer with a<br />
love for cold water describes her eventful<br />
career in the sport, from her recordbreaking<br />
English Channel crossing and<br />
her 1987 swim across the Bering Strait<br />
from America to the Soviet Union to her<br />
exploits in the Straits of Magellan, Lake<br />
Baikal, and Antarctica.<br />
It’s exactly as the title describes.<br />
Chase your next aquatic adventure<br />
with a book that understands<br />
we all seek a bit of solitude or an<br />
adrenaline rush.<br />
Great as a coffee table book and<br />
reference that will stoke the<br />
wanderlust of you, your family, and<br />
any guests fortunate enough to turn<br />
its pages, you’ll learn about the best<br />
locations from the very people who<br />
spend their lives pursuing magical<br />
paddling experiences.<br />
