The history, techniques and physiology of this sport. It is a fascinating story of how the author became interested in freediving and went on to become a competition diver and world-class teacher, combined with insights into the skills and techiques involved.

As this book explains, anyone who takes a plunge into water without artificial aids such as scuba equipment, is freediving. Indeed, once you've read this book, you may will reflect upon those moments when you relaxed by immersing yourself in the bath. It is as much an exploration of one's self as it is an extreme sport.

Photographs by Frederic Buyle are all taken whilst he is freediving.
