"The thrill of a treasure hunt! I found this book to be an eye-opener to the world of undersea exploration and treasure hunting in Florida waters. Captain Dom and his author wife, Yvonne Addario have written a very informative "how to" treasure dive book. I absolutely enjoyed reading this book!"

“Set out in plain language, the book will have a broad audience, especially young people. The font ("large print") makes it easy to read and appealing to young and old alike. Captain Dom inspires the dreamer in all of us."

"The Second Edition of Treasure Diving With Captain Dom - Special Archival Section has more for your money in content. Both first and second edition are well written in easy to understand language. I found both books very informative with beautiful color photos. The glossy stock which is used in the second edition as opposed to the mat finish paper stock used in the first edition are more vivid. The second edition has 4 more pages and is priced more moderately. All and all, the second edition is a better value. Treasure Diving With Captain Dom is a wonderful book for both young and old alike."

"This book explains the basics of treasure diving through the experience of a modern day pioneer that found treasure off the coast of Florida. His love of the sea and history brought him good fortune, but more importantly, a productive quest for innovative techniques so that others can enjoy treasure hunting. After reading this book, I feel that it is possible for anyone to stumble upon their own little piece of treasure--be it historic, a natural phenomenon, or gold coins. I moved to Florida three years ago, and have grown to love the ocean. I have taken up fishing, boating, sailing, snorkeling, surfing, and now look forward to dive lessons this summer. This is the only book that I have found that explains in easy terms the basics and background for treasure diving. My husband and I are excited to begin exploration. What an inspiration!"

Excerpt :
Treasure Diving with Captain Dom
by Yvonne Addario
. . . then one day, his life changed forever. Two surfers had told a local lifeguard about a cannon and an anchor that stuck out of the sand in only ten feet of water. The lifeguard asked Captain Dom for his help and advice.
This could be an ancient shipwreck! the captain thought.
His journey had begun.
Captain Dom was appointed the first federal substitute custodian of the abandoned shipwreck site. Later, the court substituted Jupiter Wreck Inc. (JWI), a newly formed Florida corporation, for Captain Dom’s name.
At that time, neither the lifeguard nor Captain Dom knew that the discovery laws would undergo a major change and play a large part in the rules affecting the future rights of others who researched and recovered historic shipwrecks. With the change in laws, the captain became the last person who could “stake his claim” on a shipwreck.
