Man Overboard: "Captain Fizz and the Treasure Bizz"

What it is

A collection of stories from veteran treasure diver Capt. Carl "Fizz" Fismer, written up with Sam Milner — humor, daring, and the corruption and deceit of the treasure business as seen from the inside by someone who has worked it.

Why it matters

Most treasure books celebrate the finds. This one is about the trade itself — how the business of salvage actually runs, and the characters in it. It is useful context for a collector trying to read between the lines of a dealer's or salvor's story.

Who it's for

Collectors who want an insider's informal look at the modern treasure business, told as stories rather than history.
