My Father gave me these books when he found out I was scuba diving in Okinawa in the late 80s. He had done some diving in the Bahamas and Florida back in the late 50s and thought they might be useful.

The Silent World by J.Y. Cousteau has a 1955 publish date and is falling apart. The Underwater - The SkinDiver's Manual has a 1955 copyright; note the "Inexpensive Adventure" at the bottom right of the cover :laughing7: . The Skin Diving Annual has a 1957 copyright. Also has a section about Treasure Ships during that era.
