Just polished this one off and whilst I don't often offer my book recommendations I really enjoyed it. Picked up in a garden center on a 2-for-1 with Dean Koontz book I thought it looked interesting and the cover looked familiar.

It's the tale of wreck divers finding a sunken sub and the quest to identify it. It's written as factual but I'm sure there's some flexibility in there and the way the characters are elaborated upon really brings the book alive. There are some slower sections later on, but it's really not one to be put down. If you like factual stuff and anything remotely diving and/or war related give it a stab, what's the worst that could happen?

*DON'T* read about the actual tale until you've read the book, you'll spoil it.

I read this too Benny, and can't recommend it highly enough - blasted through it in a couple of days because I just couldn't put it down.  The things these guys do on this U-boat and the danger they put themselves in just takes your breath away.  Fantastic story.
If I wanted you to understand I would have explained it better
