""Diving, With And Without Armor: Containing The Submarine Exploits Of J. B. Green, The Celebrated Submarine Diver"" is a historical book written by John B. Green and published in 1859. The book is a first-hand account of the author's experiences as a submarine diver in the mid-19th century. The book is divided into two parts. The first part discusses the use of diving armor, which was a heavy suit made of metal that allowed divers to descend to greater depths. Green describes his experiences using this type of armor, including the challenges of movement and communication while underwater. The second part of the book details Green's experiences as a free diver, which means diving without the aid of armor or other equipment. He describes his methods of holding his breath for extended periods of time and the dangers of diving without proper equipment. Throughout the book, Green recounts his various underwater exploits, including the recovery of lost items and the exploration of shipwrecks. He also shares his observations of marine life and the underwater environment. ""Diving, With And Without Armor"" provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of 19th-century diving and the bravery and skill required to explore the depths of the ocean.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
