This is my tribute to the men of the deep sea diving world who opened up this field. My new book coming out in early 2006 is titled In Deep Water and is about one such gentlemen "Davie Dobbin" my great great grandfather.
*In Deep Water* *Helmets of brass and canvas suits* *Imbiblical hoses his last defense* *Again the mercies of the deep* *Where the pressure is so intense* *Walked with the death for bodies* *To be buried in loves ones sight* *Salvaged wrecks long lost to man* *That was a diver�s plight* *Gold and silver and precious gems* *Made many a salvager rich for life* *Many more ended life cut short* *To leave child and grieving wife* *Now the oceans depths were tamed* *By the men who donned the brass* *Led the way for the modern divers* *All that the future came to pass.*

This has a very special meaning for me Felix as, before I became critically ill in 1990, I believe God gave me a vision of myself in one of these diving suits, keeling over on the oceanbed and just having the strength to tug on the airline to be hauled up to where the light shining on the surface of the water was like the golden glow of heaven itself! I was extremely sick at the time, but this "vision" gave me hope and fixed my faith on healing... two weeks later, I was admitted to hospital with difficulties in breathing (!!) and it was 6 weeks before the diagnosis came, by which time I had almost died through organ failure because I had become sooo sick... but, I was raised up miraculously, just like the picture said... so that's my personal spin on this meaningful write which sends shivers down my spine... Bless you and TY Kate xx

I'm not a diver, but I'm reading 'Shadow Divers' so I have a small idea of how dangerous this is. I had never realized it before...

Brave men indeed. They opened up Davies locker and brought up many a gold doubloon.
