Summary
The riveting story of the history-making mission to reach the bottom of all five of the world’s oceans - the ultimate frontier of our planet.
Humankind has explored every continent on earth, climbed its tallest mountains, and gone into space. But the largest areas of our planet remain a mystery: the deep oceans. At over 36,000 feet deep, these areas closest to earth’s core have remained nearly impossible to reach - until now.
Technological innovations, engineering breakthroughs and the derring-do of a unique team of engineers and scientists, led by explorer Victor Vescovo, brought together an audacious global quest to dive to the deepest points of all five oceans for the first time in history.
Expedition Deep Ocean reveals the marvelous and other-worldly life found in the ocean’s five deepest trenches, including several new species that have posed as of yet unanswered questions about survival and migration between oceans. Then there are the newly discovered sea mounts that cause tsunamis when they are broken by shifting tectonic plates and jammed back into the earth’s crust, something that can now be studied to predict future disasters.
Filled with high drama, adventure and the thrill of discovery, Expedition Deep Ocean celebrates courage and ingenuity and reveals the majesty and importance of the deep ocean.

Ok this is a fantastic achievement.
But sadly I think the author failed to capture the breathtaking achievements, perhaps in his national character its normal to constantly gripe about the pitfalls of the testing and development phase of an exceptional vehicle and its team.
To all involved in this endeavour I salute you.

Really well paced, and it had facts and cool information aplenty. Heard how hard this challenge is to achieve, but interesting on how the feat was achieved !!!! Well read and great take on the story

A book that reads like a schoolproject
narrator was like am English lesson for foreigners. also the book reads very coldly, without any emotions. It was hard for me to finish the book.

presentation too terrible for me to finish
I really wanted to love this book. I'm passionate about sea adventures and appreciate how little we know of our seas compared to space exploration. however I had to give up. the reader's voice is just too annoying and the accents unbearable.

Great story, disappointing presentation
Anticipation was high for this adventure in exploration, and it's a great story. Unfortunately, I found the delivery rather wooden (although I got used to it by the end) but, at times, it was like listening to a set of company accounts read out with some silly accents.

Awesome listen!
I'm always a sucker for explorers and their stories and this is the latest big one out there. If you loved Farthest North, you'll love this too.

Not what I thought, but good
If you're hoping this book delves into the science and discovery of these dives, then prepare to be disappointed. This is the story of the expedition behind the scenes, just about everything except details of the dives themselves. It was initially frustrating, but transpires to be a great story. Would recommend.

So disappointed
I'd been waiting for this title for a while. As an avid sea sports fan it was eagerly anticipated but even my thalasophilic enthusiasm couldn't sustain listening for more than 7 minutes 23 seconds to be exact. The narrator is truly awful. It's like listening to loud radio static. such a shame. Will watch the documentary instead

Enlightening
Was not sure what to expect. Starts off a bit slow but was really engrossing. Tale of extraordinary exploration.
