“Treasures, Shipwrecks and the Dawn of Red Sea Diving: A Pioneer’s Journey” by Howard Rosenstein has been released by Dived Up Publications, with a foreword by Sylvia Earle and David Doubilet. The harcover book features more than 200 images taken above and below the water by Rosenstein, Doubilet and others.

Rosenstein tells the tale of opening the first dive school in Sharm El-Sheikh, where celebrated guests, uncharted dives and historical discoveries became the extraordinary routine.

It’s a tale of grit, where resourcefulness and connections fueled Rosenstein’s pioneering spirit. From Roman coins glinting on the seabed to the dark, unmapped depths, his dives unveiled sunken treasures and secrets of the past. But these weren’t just underwater adventures—they were tightrope walks between nations at war.

Rosenstein rubbed shoulders with underwater legends, bestselling authors, photography greats and world leaders. He even found himself a player in the delicate dance of peace negotiations.

Dive deep into the extraordinary story of how a dive school in a train carriage at the edge of the desert became a global destination.
