Cindy Garoutte writes an inspiring biography of George Cundiff and his remarkable experiences during the frontier days of commercial diving in the 1960s and 1970s. Inducted into the International Commercial Diving Hall of Fame as its 28th recipient, George's path to this coveted honor was a harrowing one. His tales of facing death beneath the waves, battling underwater creatures, and defying the odds in a profession where one-third of divers met with an injury or worse offer a gripping and heart-pounding narrative. This book unravels the captivating mystery of offshore drilling, where vast fortunes lay hidden beneath the ocean's depths and where safety and technology struggled to keep pace with the greed of global powers. George Cundiff's survival and rise to become the most respected and highest-paid diver in the industry shed light on a world driven by big money, frenzied desire, and an ever-increasing global thirst for power. Blood, Oil, and Water is a compelling and inspiring tale of one man's relentless commitment to conquer the deep, no matter the cost--often paid for in blood.
