Praise for Rick Stanton and Aquanaut:
“Aquanaut is an exceptional, true-life adventure book. Heroism wins the day.”– “Forbes”

About The Author
Rick Stanton
Rick Stanton MBE served for years as a firefighter, but it was his “hobby” of cave-diving that was his passion. He has quietly spent forty years exploring caves around the world, steadily building his unique skill set as he defied limits, pushed boundaries, and discovered parts of the earth that had never been seen before. Along the way, he and his dive partners became the ones to call for the most challenging cave rescue and recovery missions. In 2018, he found himself on the world’s stage when he led the team that rescued a children’s soccer team that was trapped inside Thailand’s flooded Tham Luang cave. Rick needed to rely on all the experiences and friendships he’d gathered along the way, as he carefully planned and then successfully executed one of the most noteworthy rescue missions in modern history.
