Watched by the world with bated breath, read the enthralling autobiography of cave-diver Rick Stanton, who played a leading role in the Thai cave rescue in 2018

In July 2018, twelve boys and their soccer coach disappeared into a cave in Thailand.

Trapped beneath the earth, with floodwater rising rapidly, time was running out...

Survival rested on Rick Stanton, a Midlands firefighter who knows caves better than anyone in the world.

The Thai Cave Rescue was the culmination of Rick's 40-year career in caving. In a mission that held the entire world in its thrall, Rick and his team brought all thirteen to safety.

The memoir of a true hero, Aquanaut is an unforgettable story of courage and survival in the most hostile, remote environments on earth.
