The Octopus's Garden by Cindy Lee Van Dover
This text introduces readers to the life forms that scientists have only recently discovered thriving 9000-12,000 feet below the sea. It describes the incredibly difficult circumstances under which scientists explore the bottom of the sea and provides an account of voyages to this realm.
Cindy Lee Van Dover, an Assistant Professor in the Biology Department at the College of William & Mary, was technician and pilot of the deep-diving submersible Alvin from 1989 to 1991. She has made more than 100 dives to depths of greater than 2000 m, and her work with Alvin has taken her to nearly all of the known vent fields in the Atlantic and Pacific. A personal account of her experiences as a pilot and scientist can be found in her popular book, Deep-Ocean Journeys.
