Customer Reviews


5 stars Awsome freedive material
This is quite possibly the most informative freediving material I have ever read. There are lots of good exercises and information you can use to improve your freedive skills.


5 stars Informative
I like the book. it's very informative and has tons of helpful stuff. Might have too many BIG words, but it still gets the point accross. I would reccomend it for people who are new to diving/spearfishing.


5 stars Helpful Book
It's so helpful for beginner also semi-advanced freedivers. Thanks for to author. But a live excercise video cd can added the book.


4 stars i look better in a speedo than you...
great info on breathing techniques, very academic in presentation, a real snoozer at bedtime...interesting history info, lots of drawings of dudes wearing speedos helps to explain the techniques. worth it, no matter what type of diving you're into...


3 stars Informational but not necessarily a big help
This book is quite large and not quite what I was hoping for. I already knew a few exercises and techniques but found some of the extra ones in this book were awkward and proved to be a waste of time.

The book is quite touchy feely and doesn't excite you as you read. I don't know. You might enjoy it - I did learn some stuff from it, especially if you want to get right into the science of it all. Just didn't give me any improvement over my pre reading performance.
