No Safe Harbor: An important new book on the Wave Dancer tragedy. On October 8, 2002, the sport diving community had its biggest tragedy ever. Peter Hughes' Wave Dancer capsized during Hurricane Iris, killing seventeen divers from the Richmond, Virginia Dive club and three local residents. Moored next to the Wave Dancer, the Belize Aggressor weathered the storm. Joe Burnworth, who was aboard the Aggressor, spent many months interviewing participants and researching the story, to produce this well written yet chilling account of a tragedy that could have-- and should have -- been prevented. Every diver ought to read this book, not just for the story's power, but for the lessons to be learned.
