Description

Dive into the depths of danger and camaraderie with Dave ‘Mona’ Lott as he takes us on a wild ride through his 21-year stint as a diver in the Royal Navy Clearance Diving Branch, affectionately known as the ‘corkheads.’ Picture this: a select band of hard-as-nails divers, who’ve braved the rigorous selection process, plunging into the murky waters of the UK, the Mediterranean, and even the Far East, all in the name of duty.


From the pulse-quickening recovery of sunken aircraft to the nail-biting defusal of explosives lurking beneath the waves, this memoir is a vivid chronicle of life on the edge—even during peacetime. Lott doesn’t shy away from the reality that many of his comrades made the ultimate sacrifice, and he’s here to honor their legacy with the respect and affection they deserve.


Illustrated with captivating photographs from Lott’s personal stash, this isn’t just another memoir; it’s a thrilling historical account of the Royal Navy’s unsung heroes and their vital contributions to deep-sea diving. Whether you’re a former RN diver or simply someone with a thirst for adventure, this book is your ticket to the underwater world where bravery knows no bounds. Buckle up and prepare for a dive like no other!
