Into the Planet

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW

Ever dreamed of diving into the belly of the ocean? Cave diver Jill Heinerth’s Into the Planet gets us as close as possible to exploring the exceptionally deep, dark, and mysterious places of our world—without having to brave icy water and unknown dangers. Heinerth is a force of nature, first breaking into a hypercompetitive, male-dominated sport and then using her skills to aid natural scientists with their research. She narrates the audiobook herself, and we felt rushes of adrenaline as we listened to her evocative descriptions of various diving adventures. (We caught ourselves holding our breath more than once!) It’s an inspiring, informative listen that taught us things we’d never imagined about some of Earth’s most underexplored natural wonders.
