This book is very exciting and will hold your interest throughout the whole book. Once you read the first book you will hooked and have to go out and buy the other two books.

Best book I ever read!

"Dive" is about 4 kids having an adventure in underwater. It sounded ordinary for me, but when I started reading it made me very excited and enjoy. It made me fluttered because there's a lot of thrill and suspense. It also has a big climax at the end about live or die. You should read it!

Dive, Book 1

This is the first book in the Dive series. Star, Kaz, Dante, and Adriana, are four interns on a diving trip this summer. They are chosen to go to Poseidon, a diving internship all summer. Star, is a cripple, with Cerebral Palsy, but she is the best diver in the internship. Adriana, is not the best, and at first, would have much rather been on an Archaelogical Dig, with her uncle, but her brother was chosen, but knows quite abit about 300 year old artifacts. Dante, is a photographer, and is also color-blind, but helps the others ediscover a treasure. And Kaz, is in guilt. he accidentally made a collision with a hockey player, Drew, and Drew will never walk again. So Kaz goes to Posedon, to get away from sport that could turn him into a weapon of destruction, (Or, that's how he sees it.) But is now really getting into things, and, saves both Star's and Adriana's life, and even Star is impressed. Then, Star finds the shipwreck, and discovers old musket bullets, but is told by Tad Cutter and his crew that they are just movie props. Then they find a piece of eight (Spanish money) And then, they discover that Cutter and his fellows are onto THEIR treasure. This is a great starting book in the series, so read it!

Dive; book one : Discovery

The deep, mysterious ocean holds more value than to the human eye. Something more valuable than ever. What seemed like an opportunity of a lifetime has unraveled into something more, than the four kids can handle, and something so great has finally revealed itself. Kaz, Dante, Adriana and Star, are invited to a summer internship to scuba dive. They know the organization doesn't seem to be what they look like, and they are going to prove it. Especially because the kids found sunken treasue and they are not the only ones who want it. The only thing stopping them is the bad guys and the sharks, especialy the eighteen foot tiger shark, Clarence. Each step that the kids take to getting the treasure the danger unfolds more. I really enjoyed this book a lot because there was so much excitement and I had a lot of fun reading it, because it compares to teenagers all around and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants a great book that stays in your imagination forever.
