Beyond the Deep

In 1994, an elite team of international explorers with the combined skills of mountaineering, caving, and diving set out to go further into the earth than anyone had before. Led by larger-than-life, driven cving pioneer Bill Stone, the expedition faced some of the most severe -- and most deadly -- conditions ever encountered, as it attempted to bottom Mexico's Huautla Cave System via the San Agustin Sump.

This gripping story has all the suspense and intrigue of a novel, but it is a true account of the expedition, told by those who survived going Beyond The Deep.

William Stone and Barbara am Ende, with Monte Paulsen
