Diving To Titanic: A Day To Remember

By Brian Clargo

This is the true story of how an unknown couple, Brian and Yolanda Clargo from Devon in the UK, dived to the Titanic wreck 3,800 metres under the North Atlantic in August 2005. They were invited to join an expedition on the Research Vessel Akademik Mstislav Keldysh, the ship featured in the film 'Titanic' and dived in a MIR submersible with the world-famous underwater explorer Dr Anatoly Sagalevich as their pilot. There was an incident when during the dive, the submersible controls failed and they were swept off the wreck by the current and forced to carry out an emergency crash landing next to the wreck. Their pilot, the MIR Designer and Chief Scientist was able to resolve this issue on the seabed averting escalation and this incident has not previously been reported except in Brian's presentations to the diving world. Their dive was one of the last made by the MIR submersibles, just before the 14 year break in manned exploration from 2005 to 2019. This book is lavishly illustrated with 192 photographs and detailed analysis of the routes taken on the wreck. There are few other accounts regarding what it is like to undertake such an expedition from a personal point of view and this book will appeal to any Titanic aficionado with 73 original underwater photographs of Titanic taken by the author
