Read the excerpt from Exploring the Titanic. "I’m sure every diver dreams about the Titanic," said the speaker at the Sea Rovers meeting. "To dive down to that fabulous ship would be the ultimate thrill in underwater exploration. But she’s probably too far down for anybody to ever find her– far less explore her."

to provide details about his interest in historical shipwrecks
to help describe how divers are different from other people
