"DIVING WITH
LEGENDS"
An exciting new book, "DIVING
WITH LEGENDS", featuring two Women Divers Hall of Fame Members, was unveiled at the
Our World Underwater Dive Show in Chicago on Saturday 20th February, 2010.
WDHOF members Zale Parry and Martha Watkins Gilkes were featured, and many of the diving
legends mentioned in the book were in attendance to be honored.
Written by Dr. Peter McClean Millar, it is a book about some of the world’s top
Divers and adventurers. The 342-page book contains chapters by diving legends such as
former WDHOF Trustee Stan Waterman, Jacques Piccard, Howard Hall, Richie Kohler, John
Chatterton, George Bass, Joe MacInnis, Dan Crowell, Ralph, WDHOF members Zale Parry and
Martha Watkins Gilkes, Wilbanks, David Trotter... the list goes on.
In addition to being presented a copy of the book, each contributor was presented with a
Limited Edition DOXA SUB watch, the Diving With Legends SUB 1200T HRV, to commemorate the
occasion as the book was backed by DOXA WATCHES. Only 99 watches were made, and less than
70 will be available to the general public.
The Limited Edition watch features a unique Diving With Legends logo, a special engraved
caseback and incorporates a Helium Release Valve. The watch is based on the vintage DOXA
SUB 300T Conquistador which, in 1969, was the first dive watch to feature a Helium Release
Valve.
Diving With Legends is a unique book because it doesn't just contain stories about
legendary divers, it contains stories written by those legendary divers. Read about
Zale Parry's adventures on Sea Hunt and Martha Watkins Gilkes fight for the release of
captured dolphins in Antigua. The stories are a mix of adventure, discovery, record dives
and fantastic achievements in the underwater world, and is a must-have for anyone
interested in adventure or diving.
Legendary Divers, Legendary Achievements, Legendary Stories and now a Legendary
Watch… this is Diving With Legends!
