General Biography

This is the extraordinary true adventure story of how Sue Dockar survived for two days and two nights lost alone at sea after being swept away during a spearfishing contest in the shark-infested waters off the Queensland coast. The Lonely Sea shows how a series of small and individually avoidable errors dominoed into inevitable disaster. James Cameron, director of Titanic, describes it as "exactly the kind of true grit survival story that I thrive on".
