Juvenile fiction from late 1960s or early 1970s with color illustrations of a teen boy and his father/uncle and their adventures scuba diving. I worked in the school library when I was 13-14 and was fascinated by this book, which piqued my interest in oceanography. I’ve searched on and off for many years. It’s not Sea Hunt and it’s not a Hardy Boys book. Any help locating a copy of this book would be much appreciated.
Stump the Bookseller
New format, same book stumper solving.
This could be The Mystery of the Burning Ocean by Mel Lyle published in 1965, #3 in the 6 book Power Boys series. The Powers brothers, Jack and Chip, travel to Bermuda with their photojournalist father and solve a mystery. The cover is lime green with the two brothers scuba diving but I believe the internal illustrations are three color line drawings.
Thanks for the help. I don’t recall it being part of a series but I’ll look into it. Thanks again!
Underwater adventure by Willard Price?

What about Hans Hass’s book ‘Diving to Adventure’? I had this in the 1960s when I was young and it similarly inspired me. Recently re-acquired the 1963 Arrow paperback version I had – for nostalgic reasons.
