If anybody want to read a really good book about discovering U boats, the book Shadow Divers is a seriously amazing read. A couple guys found a wreck nobody knew about at the time and started diving it for months on end in something like 200 feet of water.
EDIT: they dove on it for 6 years and it was about 230 feet.
Shadow Divers, hunting for Nazi treasures, nonfiction, but reads like a good novel.
I hate to pick nits, but whilst Chatterton was one of the main protagonists of Shadow Divers, he was not the author. It was Robert Kurson. In the audiobook version there is an author's note from Kurson where he mentions how he verified and cross referenced everything Chatterton and Kohler told him. You should also try and get hold of "Setting the Hook" by Peter Hunt. It's about diving the Andrea Doria from the Seeker's main competition, Steve Bielenda's Wahoo. It's very interesting to see their rivalry from the other side.
Enjoy the rebreather!
