 Best book of its kind. June 30, 1998
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
I've only moved "off the shelf" and into the blue this year, having used a sling since childhood. Had I read this book earlier I would have had many more years' experience by now. It covers a range of topics and is well illustrated. A good practical guide to the sport spiced with enough of the sort of chilling (sharks, line tangles, blackout) and inspiring (marlin hunters, jewfish hunted by sound alone, bluefin rocketing by at 50 mph) story-talk to captivate even my nondiving friends. I've read many of these stories out loud to hushed circles of friends. The comments on safety are reasonable and reflect a good respect for those who've lived a life in the water. A good job all round; I look forward to Terry's next.
A well presented and fact full book with some great photos. April 29, 1998
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I enjoyed the content of this book as it is a topic I'm familiar with (why else read a book like this?). This book has some wonderful photos and very good factual, helpful, text. It has very good mixture of stories and technical information on freediving and could be easily used as a handbook for someone starting the sport.
A must for Free Divers and Spear Fisherfolk March 10, 1998

Terry presents his considerable expertise in an understandable and highly readable format. Great illustrations, advise from equipment to great fishing spots to diving medicine. My Dive Buddy and I have both read the book and put much of what we learnt into practice - surely the mark of a great book!
