Pacific Vortex! is an early novel by Clive Cussler. It was published in 1983 as the sixth book in the Dirk Pitt Adventures series, although under the premise of being the first Pitt book written by Cussler and thus the franchise's seminal episode. Cussler attributes its publishing to a great deal of pressure from his friends, family and publisher, and considers it somewhat of a curiosity among his works.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A young U.S. Air Force and National Underwater and Marine Agency officer named Dirk Pitt is enjoying a lazy day on a secluded Oahu beach at Ka'ena Point when he spots a bright yellow container just past the breakers. After catching it in a dangerous swim, Pitt discovers it is the last message of the USS Starbuck, the Navy's last high-tech submarine, which disappeared on the sea in strange circumstances. After being revealed that the submarine fell prey of the "Pacific Vortex", an area of the ocean north of the Hawaiian Islands where ships have been vanishing for more than 30 years, Pitt will be involved in a government project to recover the submarine. He will have to face deep sea mysteries, ghosts of the past, strange intelligences, and worse than all, love.Despite its doubtful canon status, the book was later welded to the series's (admittedly loose) continuity in the 2001 book Valhalla Rising.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
| Pacific Vortex! / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: Delphi's men carry their Roblemann artificial gills grafted to the sides of their ribcages. In real life, if it was needed to surgically attach such gadget to a human respiratory system, it would be smarter to place it in the user's neck, not in his torso, as a graft placed between the ribs would probably interfere with the chest muscle movement needed to breath. | |

Ambiguous Situation: Pitt acusses Delphi of brainwashing his men into obedience, and later the baddie stares deeply at Pitt's eyes with his own yellow eyes in what Pitt calls hypnosis. It's unknown whether Delphi was really attempting to hypnotize Pitt or he was just very angry and trying to psych him out. | |

Artificial Gill | |
| Pacific Vortex! / int_b6abc661 | comment |
Artificial Gill: Delphi's mooks are surgically equipped with artifical gills invented by Moran's scientists, which allow them to breathe for a time underwater without any heavier gear. The things are described as apparently small devices grafted to the sides of their chests. | |
