After 23 years of chronicling the adventures of superspy, diving guy, Dirk Pitt, apparently the reality between character and writer has begun to blur somewhat. The Sea Hunters is a dramatic account of the shipwrecks that Cussler and a gang of his diving buddies have discovered over the past twenty years. All recovered objects are used strictly for identification purposes before being preserved and donated to museums.
Nothing is kept.
Visitors and guests are stunned to find no maritime artifacts in my home. The Sea Hunters, written in conjunction with Craig Dirgo, an American novelist and special projects director on numerous NUMA expeditions, is a witty, first hand account of how a group of guys have had an amazing ability to find historically important shipwrecks all over the world. Cussler also recounts some of his drier finds. Along the way Cussler talks a lot about himself, his friends and mentors and the camaraderie that is a key part of every NUMA project. Oh the tales he tells.
