Summary:
"In 2007, one of a team of expert cave divers died in strange circumstances while exploring
Bell
Island
's flooded Iron-ore
Mine
in
Newfoundland
, Canada. Joe Steffen's
death
was a terrible shock for his team-mates and an unexpected and unwelcome tragedy for his friends and family. Although the expedition continued until its scheduled conclusion, and successfully placed
two
kilometres of permanent guideline in the mine'
s
network of passageways and galleries, Steffen's
death
closed the
mine
to further
exploration
and the possibility of guided dives for almost a decade. In his new book, best-selling author Steve Lewis tells the story of Steffen's
death
and its aftermath, from his perspective as expedition leader and Steffen's roommate during their time together in
Newfoundland
. He writes honestly about the profound effect his friend'
s
death
had on him, how it wove itself into his life - both
underwater
and above - until finally, somewhere on the road to Spain's Santiago de Compostela, how he rid himself of the heartache and guilt associated with it. He says: "I needed to write this book because it turns out the story of
Bell
Island
is more important than four shipwrecks, several square kilometres of flooded
mine
, and a dead friend. What started out as one local man'
s
quest to put
Bell
Island
on every diver'
s
bucket list, became much more complex than anyone - certainly any of the people involved in that quest - would have guessed."--Goodreads.
