The Blue Edge
2 journalers for this copy...
From Amazon:
"Carlos Eyles became deeply connected to the ocean world as a child growing up in Hawaii. His life, first as a free diving big game spearfisherman and now as an underwater photographer, has covered much of the planet's oceans and seas - a lifetime journey, which has paralleled the decline of the ocean's great wealth. He has written eight books and countless articles about his experiences. He recently returned to Hawaii to live and teach free diving."
"The Blue Edge invites the reader into Carlos's almost mystical interaction with the ocean's inhabitants. His encounters are extraordinary...his insights come from the heart. He takes us to the very soul of the natural world."
This book gives a fascinating insight into freediving or breath-hold diving. When I started to scuba dive, I was amazed at the level of noise I was producing with my breathing gear. I always felt very distracted by the ruccus I caused with all the gear I was hauling along. I wanted to be part of this amazing underwater world, without scaring the creeps out of the animal life. This book reminded me of that. Perhaps it is time to consider taking a freediving course. Not really sure, I am crap at holding my breath! But it is very tempting!
The book was fun, although I skipped a few paragraphs, when he waffled on at length about the mystical experience of immersing oneself into this world and becoming part of it... I know, I'm a hypocrite... ;)
