Adam Skolnick

This book takes you into the extreme sport of free diving. It describes feats that are barely believable. On a small scale, I have dabbled in this so the book held special meaning for me plus I believe I can appreciate what these divers accomplish more than someone who has never tried pushing the limits of their breath holding abilities. And I had no idea there were so many sub genres of the sport. Facts in here you want to hold onto for retelling.

Some crazy MF'ers. Get the idea that they want the zen like rush. But the whole, "I could die " each time seems nuts. Crazier even than skydiving. But I'm a wuss. Really enjoyed the book. Author told a compelling story and profiled individuals quite nicely.

Great book on many levels. It reminded me of Barracuda (fiction) in how the protagonist sought to resolve or explore personal challenges through sport, which ultimately became the source of his undoing. Beautifully written, particularly at its conclusion.

After reading Deep I was delighted to find this book. Adam Skolnick deals only with competitive Freediving, but goes into more depth (no pun intended) on one diver in particular.
