Two shipwrecks, two priceless cargoes, two teams of divers working against one another to claim treasure. One team is willing to kill to get it.

Good suspense!

Peter Benchley tells another ocean oriented story about a married couple on their honeymoon who discover something interesting while on a routine wreck dive. There are many myths about what this ship was carrying, and now there is a race to confirm the whereabouts of the long lost treasure.
There are no typical monsters usually seen in Benchley novels however, when we see how people can act when gold is at stake, we see a monster more fearsome than anything seen in "Jaws" or "The Beast".

Pretty good. I thought it was better than Jaws. The ending left me hanging though.
