There hasn't been a memoir I've read that has truly inspired every ounce of my being than reading this one. Into the Deep, is a life affirmation for anyone that has ever felt they couldn't measure up to their peers to become one of the most renowned pioneers in ocean exploration.

Inspired by the sea at an early age, Robert Ballard's hard work and determination has paid off over and again. Never a dull moment in the book, our curiosity piqued from the first chapter, he chronicles his life and experiences through his engaging storytelling, recounting some of his most exciting explorations uncovered. Reliving these moments as he shares in the book becomes more exciting, especially his experience with finding Titanic. A trailblazer, revolutionizing and using innovative technology into the depths of the sea, he explored and uncovered some of history's most fascinating mysteries.

The most inspiring thing in the book for me was his discovery of what he thought early on was a defect but instead was dyslexia. The life he carved for himself by never giving up and fighting for his true passion is such an inspiration for people similar to him. You can feel his passion and love for the ocean and he makes you want to go on an adventure with him.

Overall, this was insightful and engaging. Blending his personal and professional life, you really get some amazing stories and an insider perspective that is truly invaluable. If you love ocean exploration and their mysteries, especially like those of the interest of Titanic, you will thoroughly enjoy this book. I recommend add this one to your list.
