Dive! opens with the best description of the development and implementation of submarine technology and doctrine I have ever read ... Carlton's writing effortlessly demonstrates his command of the topic ... [He] makes great use of primary sources to paint a full and vivid picture of the backgrounds and personalities of the officers and crews of these first two Australian submarines ... All in all an excellent book, highly recommended!

Mike Carlton is a past master in the craft of writing eminently relatable tales describing the actions of the Royal Australian Navy for the wider reading public. Not before time, Dive! Australian Submariners at War presents as the fifth book in his impressive collection ... Carlton’s storytelling beautifully illustrates the skill, commitment and courage of those few Australians warriors who found their way to submarine service when the need was most dire. Thoroughly recommended.
