Sadly, the author died this weekend at the site. The link John provided  
takes you to a page which is all about Mr. Bright and his work on  
numerous wrecks.
Here's a clip from the NY Times:


David A. Bright, an internationally renowned authority on the sinking  
of the Andrea Doria who was helping lead preparations to commemorate  
the disaster?s 50th anniversary later this month, collapsed and died on  
Saturday after making a dive into the wreck of the ship, about 60 miles  
south of Nantucket. He was 49 and lived in Flemington, N.J.

The exact cause of death has not been determined, said Petty Officer  
Rochelle Padilla of the Coast Guard Station at Woods Hole, Mass., which  
responded to an emergency call at 6:50 p.m. on Saturday.

  According to the Coast Guard?s report, Mr. Bright surfaced from the  
wreck; boarded his dive boat, the Sirena; and collapsed. Evacuated by  
Coast Guard helicopter, he was taken by ambulance to Cape Cod Hospital,  
where he was pronounced dead.

A scientist by training, Mr. Bright was a skilled wreck diver who had  
dived the remains of the Andrea Doria more than 100 times. He had an  
important collection of artifacts salvaged from the ship, including  
china and crystal, which he often lent to museum exhibitions.

The founder of the Andrea Doria Survivor Reunions Committee, Mr. Bright  
acted as a liaison between divers and survivors of the sinking. He had  
made Saturday?s dive in part to help another diver photograph the wreck  
for the 50th anniversary reunion on July 23 at the United States  
Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, N.Y.
