The Third Dive: An Investigation Into the Death of Rob Stewart de Robert Osbourne

The Third Dive: An Investigation Into the Death of Rob Stewart

Autor Robert Osbourne
en Limba Engleză Hardback – sep 2020
Investigative account examines the 2017 diving death of filmmaker and conservationist Rob Stewart in the Florida Keys and the questions raised afterward.

The Third Dive is based on the documentary of the same name and reconstructs the circumstances surrounding Stewart's death during a technical dive. Stewart, known for the films Sharkwater and Sharkwater: Extinction, was an experienced diver and prominent marine-conservation advocate, making the accident especially shocking to his family, colleagues and environmental audiences.

Through interviews and reporting, the book examines the sequence of events, diving practices, supervision and conflicting accounts that became central to subsequent scrutiny and civil proceedings. It does not need to rely on sensational allegations to make the story compelling. The central question is how an experienced team undertaking a demanding dive reached a fatal outcome.

The book is suited to investigative nonfiction, diving, marine conservation, documentary film and outdoor-safety collections. It combines a human story with a close examination of decision-making, procedure and accountability in a high-risk environment.

Descriere

Based on the provocative film documentary of the same name, The Third Dive investigates the shocking death of a world-renowned conservation activist. When experienced diver and award-winning filmmaker Rob Stewart (Sharkwater and Sharkwater: Extinction) drowned while diving off the coast of the Florida Keys in 2017, it was a shock to the worlds environ-mental movement. Reports suggested that Stewart was encouraged to perform a dangerous and ultimately fatal dive by a reckless Svengali-like instructor named Peter Sotis. Some bloggers went so far as to report that Sotis survived the dive by clawing his way onto the boat first, leaving Stewart to drown. A civil case was launched which directed blame at Horizon Divers, the company that had taken Stewart out on the dive. The allegation was that they had not done their jobs properly and left him to die in the water. Through interviews and investigative reporting, The Third Dive is a compelling read that attempts to uncover the mysterious and disturbing circumstances surrounding Rob Stewarts untimely death.
