In his book, Titanic's Last Secrets, Brad Matsen tells the story of wreck divers John Chatterton and Richie Kohler and their search for the truth about the Titanic's sinking in 1912.

Chatterton and Kohler talk to TIME about deep sea diving, investigating shipwrecks, and the allure of the Titanic....
