Hammer Down: a View from the Blue Bill Esola

"First release in the ""View from the Blue"" series, a harrowing underwater encounter is revisited, and retold in this personal narrative written by the author who experienced it. Set on an oil rig located in the unspoiled, pristine waters of the south Atlantic, not far off the northern coastline of Angola, Africa, the reader is taken on an remarkable underwater journey. What starts out as a typical day on the rig, soon turns into a potentially life threatening encounter with a creature rarely observed in today?s oceans.
Through the use of colorful description and a comfortable balance of technical yet easily comprehensible diving jargon, the author provides insight to the daily routine of oil rig life and transports the reader into a world that few have had the opportunity to experience.
