At Scapa Flow in 1919, the German Admiral in charge of 74 of his countries warships ordered that the fleet be scuttled. The High Sees Fleet of the German Royal Navy was one of the most formidable ever built, yet 52 of the ships were deliberately sent to the bottom of the British Grand Fleet's principal anchorage at Orkney. The book reports that Admiral Ludwig von Reuter became the only man in history to sink his own navy on the strength of a misleading report in a four-day old British newspaper; the Royal Navy guessed his intention but could do nothing about it; the sinking produced the last casualties and the last prisoners of the war.

Sister ship to the Titanic, Now lying near the Greek island of Kea, the wreck of the Britannic is a fascination to modern divers.

To deliberately journey 10-20 miles offshore into hostile, powerful seas before diving down into those waters seeking untouched, virgin shipwrecks - often in the pitch blackness of deep water - seems incomprehensible to many people. For Rod Macdonald, however, it has been an all-consuming passion since he first started diving in 1982. Into the Abyss charts the dramatic highs and lows of his diving career - packed full of incident, drama and excitement and has taken him to all of the great shipwreck sites of the world. From the sunken Japanese Fleet at the bottom of Truk Lagoon and Palau in the Pacific to diving into the third largest whirlpool in the world - the Corryvreckan Whirlpool off the west coast of Scotland - Macdonald's work has taken him on a spell-binding journey beneath the seas. Macdonald reflects upon the excitement, the successes and the near-tragic failures of his diving career so far.
