Alexandra by O'Dell, Scott. mass_market edition. ISBN: 9780449702901.

For many generations, the men in Alexandras family have been sponge divers -- first on the Greek island of Kalymnos and now in the Florida village of Tarpon Springs. Diving has always been considered a mans job by Alexandras family -- dangerous and demanding. But when tragedy strikes, Alexandra decides to become a sponge diver herself despite her familys objections. And she learns that as dangerous as the underwater world can be, there are always more dangers waiting on shore . . .
