Treasure
Diving with Captain Dom - Special Archival Edition
by Yvonne Addario
This is a good layman's account of the equipment
and procedures for underwater shipwreck salvage,
applicable both to the underwater archaeologist and the
treasure hunter, although the latter are a dying breed."

Engineering Florida Atlantic University,

"I found “Treasure
Diving with Captain Dom” to be a very
interesting and entertaining book. The author
takes you through some of the history behind the
ships and shipwrecks, describes in plain
language, vessel types and the kinds of cargos,
explains how the wreck hunter performs his
research, and the tools he uses to find them.
The book is an easy read with large print and
lots of photos, including many underwater
shots. This book will be enjoyed by adventurers
of all ages!"

This year, diver Yvonne Addario reported
recovering over 500 coins from a 1600's shipwreck in Jupiter
Florida. In her latest book, she shares the experience in an
effort to draw younger undersea explorers to begin the quest for
sunken treasure. "Now more than ever, explorers need to know and
understand that they can indeed find and recover their own
treasures." Addario writes. A certified scuba diver alongside

"The thrill of a treasure
hunt! I
found this book to be an eye-opener to the world of
undersea exploration and treasure hunting in Florida
waters. Captain Dom and his author wife, Yvonne
Addario have written a very informative "how to"
treasure dive book. I
absolutely enjoyed
reading this book!"

“Set out in plain language, the book will have a broad audience,
especially young people. The font ("large print") makes it easy to
read and appealing to young and old alike. Captain Dom inspires the
dreamer in all of us."

"The Second Edition of
Treasure Diving With Captain Dom - Special Archival
Section has more for your money in content. Both first
and second edition are well written in easy to
understand language. I found both books very informative
with beautiful color photos. The glossy stock which is
used in the second edition as opposed to the mat finish
paper stock used in the first edition are more vivid. The second edition has 4 more pages
and is priced more moderately. All and all, the second
edition is a better value. Treasure Diving With Captain
Dom is a wonderful book for both young and old alike."

"This book explains the basics of treasure
diving through the experience of a modern day
pioneer that found treasure off the coast of
Florida. His love of the sea and history brought
him good fortune, but more importantly, a
productive quest for innovative techniques so
that others can enjoy treasure hunting. After
reading this book, I feel that it is possible
for anyone to stumble upon their own little
piece of treasure--be it historic, a natural
phenomenon, or gold coins. I moved to Florida
three years ago, and have grown to love the
ocean. I have taken up fishing, boating,
sailing, snorkeling, surfing, and now look
forward to dive lessons this summer. This is the
only book that I have found that explains in
easy terms the basics and background for
treasure diving. My husband and I are excited to
begin exploration. What an inspiration!"

"Personally I think the Second Edition of Treasure Diving With
Captain Dom - Special Archival Section has more for your money in
content. Both first and second editions are well written in easy to
understand language. I found both books very informative with
beautiful color photos. The glossy stock which is used in the second
edition as opposed to the mat finish paper stock used in the first
edition are more vivid and clearly printed on . The second edition
has 4 more pages and is priced more moderately. All and all, the
second edition is a better value. Treasure Diving With Captain Dom
is a wonderful book for both young and old alike. Captain Dom
inspires all of us, to follow our dreams. "
