This book explains the basics of treasure diving through the experience of a modern day pioneer that found treasure off the coast of Florida. His love of the sea and history brought him good fortune, but more importantly, a productive quest for innovative techniques so that others can enjoy treasure hunting. After reading this book, I feel that it is possible for anyone to stumble upon their own little peice of treasure--be it historic, a natural phenomenon, or gold coins. I moved to Florida three years ago, and have grown to love the ocean. I have taken up fishing, boating, sailing, snorkeling, surfing, and now look forward to dive lessons this summer. This is the only book that I have found that explains in easy terms the basics and background for treasure diving. My husband and I are excited to begin exploration. What an inspiration!

Personally I think the Second Edition of Treasure Diving With Captain Dom - Special Archival Section has more for your money in content. Both first and second editions are well written in easy to understand language. I found both books very informative with beautiful color photos. The glossy stock which is used in the second edition as opposed to the mat finish paper stock used in the first edition are more vivid and clearly printed on . The second edition has 4 more pages and is priced more moderately. All and all, the second edition is a better value. Treasure Diving With Captain Dom is a wonderful book for both young and old alike. Captain Dom inspires all of us, to follow our dreams.

This book is excellent for readers to learn the basics of what it takes to recover treasure. It is not as easy as one thinks and this book teaches you what it takes to first locate the treasure, what it looks like in its disguised form , how to clean it to see what's inside and more. . .

After reading this book, I feel that treasure - whether it be modern day or old, historic or naturalistic can be found almost anywhere - you just have to know where to look and what to look for, this book teaches you how.
