Andrea
Doria: Dive to an Era
Gary
Gentile
The
Andrea Doria, once the pride of the Italian Line, now lies on her starboard side
in over 240 feet of cold North Atlantic water. Since her sinking in 1956, the
Andrea Doria has held a magnetic fascination for divers. The author, with over
100 dives to the Doria, knows the lure well.
Dramatic black and white, and color photos illustrate the sinking, the divers, the artifacts, and the beckoning rooms deep inside the ship's interior.

Reviews
"His edge-of-the-seat anecdotes about violent storms at sea and disorientation in the darkness...will certainly reinforce the image of the wreck as the ultimate macho dive...the next best thing to being there."
-Cathy Cush, columnist for several dive magazines
