Deep-Sea Stories
Deep-Sea Stories is about U.S. Navy Divers. I interview the living historians of Navy Divers who talk about Navy Divers and dive commands we served. These are the same stories we told sitting at bars and beaches all over the world with Navy Divers. We want to communicate as many Deep-Sea Stories as possible. When someone asks about Navy Divers 200 years from now, our memories will live through our Deep-Sea Stories.
