Mike travels 1500 miles inland to a flooded mine where two men are trapped in a foul air pocket. He reaches them, but his dilemma is that there is only enough air in his tank to rescue the miners one-at-a-time and not enough air in the pocket for the remaining man to survive until he returns with more air. Who will go? Who will stay? How will he decide? Written by jimmie d

Undersea diver Mike Nelson is a former navy frogman who now works at Marineland. When an experimental supersonic fighter is forced to ditch at sea, the manufacturers hire Mike to locate it and attach a marker buoy so it can be raised. Mike has little trouble finding the aircraft in about 60 ft. of water. What he also finds is the pilot, alive in the airtight cockpit, but with only 15 minutes of oxygen remaining in his tanks. It up to Mike to find a way to get him out. Written by garykmcd

Mike Nelson is hired by a mining company that has located a source of beryllium in an underwater location off the coast of Madagascar. The site is 170 ft. below the surface and Mike points that not only do you require experienced divers at that depth but anyone diving below 120 ft. is subject to nitrogen narcosis, also known as rapture of the deep, where men begin to hallucinate. Mike's job is to find divers who can work at that depth but for two divers who know each other, their personal animosity may get in the way. Written by garykmcd
