 Bluewater Hairbrains Only!!!! January 3, 2008
I know what the title says, but I had hoped for a bit more info on inshore and reef fish as well, espescially since many of Terry's hunts still take place within sight of land. Good book though. Don't dive in California or Australia without a will written though- thats what this book says.
Very Interesting Overview January 10, 2007
This book exceeded my expectations. Unlike some other intro / how to books I have consulted on other subjects which seamed to me to be a thinly veiled recycling of stock photos, this book is what it claims. I was impressed by its comprehensiveness, detail, and great pictures. Not being a freediver, I was amazed by the freediving accounts described within. Disclaimer: I am not a freediver. Before ordering the book I hardly knew what freediving was.
The "Bible" for the sport January 7, 2007
This is a great book if you are a novice, intermediate or advanced spearo. The information on gear is clear and concise, especially in regards to rigging your gun. The chapters on the various types of pelagic fish that are hunted is thorough and informative. Dr. Maas writes not so much as a person that did a lot of research, but more importantly as a person who has experience in the areas he is writing about. His first hand accounts are entertaining and educational.
This book is a must have for anyone in this sport. It will want to make you get in the water.
Truly incredible tales January 23, 2002

I am an avid scuba diver who likes to hunt for lobster and fish. I was not prepared for what I found in this book. The casual approach to entering the ocean food chain to hunt large tuna and marlin among large great white sharks left me wondering if Terry Maas (the author) has a death wish. Nevertheless, I think I will try this sport on a smaller scale and hopefully venture to south of Cabo to try my hand at large yellowfin. I found this book to be very matter of fact about a not so standard way to kill some time on your vacation. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves diving, extreme adventure, and the ocean.

This book contains a plethora of interesting stories,as well as useful information for the aspiring blue water hunter. One learns that not all spearfishermen desire to shoot everything in the sea, but that their involvemnt in the preservation of the ocean's resources is tempered with an attitude of respectful game gathering.
