A fascinating book about the ocean and what happens to the human body when it's underwater. Nearly every page had something I'd never heard about: from ancient tribes of free-diving women, to what happens when you hold your breath for extended periods of time.
Highly recommended.

It is our job to see that it stays there." - George Orwell
I've never been into surfing but I love free diving.

I got interested in free diving after I damaged my ear trying to get down to about 20 feet in the Bahamas a few years ago. In about a hundred pages into this book and I'm fascinated.
