Otis and Will discover the deep : the record-setting dive of the Bathysphere / written by Barb Rosenstock ; illustrated by Katherine Roy. - First edition. - New York : Little, Brown and Company, 2018. - 39 unnumbered pages (some folded) : chiefly illustrations (colour) ; 31 cm
Includes bibliographical references.
The suspenseful, little-known true story of two determined pioneers who made the first dive into the deep ocean. On June 6, 1930, engineer Otis Barton and explorer Will Beebe dove into the ocean inside a hollow metal ball of their own invention called the Bathysphere. They knew dozens of things might go wrong. A tiny leak could shoot pressurised water straight through the men like bullets! A single spark could cause their oxygen tanks to explode! No one had ever dived lower than a few 100 feet - and come back. But Otis and Will were determined to become the first people to see what the deep ocean looked like.
