 A must have for all apnea divers. March 1, 2010
Goudas Apostolos (Greece)
A great book that every freediver new or experienced must have.
It will teach you new things or make you reconsider those that you already know.
It provides all the information you need to know and also has a lot of exercises, with very good pictures, of how to improve your apnea times and techniques.
A must for every freediver !! May 15, 2009
Krzysztof Kurzaj (Queens, NY)
I discovered freediving few months ago and being a complete novice I was looking for some advice. I was skeptical about finding such manual but it turned out there is one. When it arrived and I opened it I got blown away. This is not a manual of freediving - this is every freediver's bible. This book describes not only techniques and training programs but touches every single aspect of freediving including uhman anatomy and biological functions as well as mental preparation needed for this sport. If you are serious about freediving you need to have this book.

As a dive industry professional I feel obligated to say that this is the best book you can find on any type of diving, especially freediving. It covers History, Technique, Safety, Rescue, Dry-Land Training, Water Training, Weight Training, Physiology, Diet, Bio-Mechanics, everything you need to know to go from an occasional snorkeler to a serious professional freediver is in this book. I own two copies, one of which is wrapped in waterproof duct-tape so it can be left on the dock during training sessions in the water. If I ran the world, this book would be required reading for all boat captains, life guards, SCUBA instructors, and surfers. Excellent source of information and improvement. It will ad at least 20% to your personal best.
accomplised must-have tutorial March 1, 2009
Michas Konstantinos (MACEDONIA,GREECE)
this is a perfect manual not only for freediving as an outdoor activity,but as a philosophy introducing a new way of thinking...
it encludes several exercises...(elasticity of ribcage,diaphragma etc...)
it encludes completed training programms (swimming,running)
it worths its money...
greetings from GREECE...
A really complete "complete guide" !!! October 31, 2008
George (Patras, Greece)
A perfect guide for those who want to freedive with safety, and with complete knowledge of how his/her body and mind works under diving conditions. A "must have read" book for the experienced diver as well as for someone who hasnt put his head under water yet.
