Clive Cussler is a renowned author of action-adventure novels and a respected expert on shipwrecks. Since 1965, he has been writing novels, and his first work featuring his iconic series hero, Dirk Pitt, was published in 1973. In 1996, Cussler released his non-fiction book, <i>The Sea Hunters</i>, which earned him a Doctor of Letters degree from the Maritime College, State University of New York, in 1997.

Since 1965, he has been writing novels, and his first work featuring his iconic series hero, Dirk Pitt, was published in 1973.
