Homo Delphinus - The Dolphin within Man
I just finished reading this magnificent book by legendary Jacques Mayol. The writing is bad and Mayol seems to to ramble every now and then, but the book is still amazing. Mayol goes through his own history and the history of apnea.
The book is filled with great photographs and tidbits about apnea. It’s really interesting to see how the sport has evolved and for example what kind of gear was used decades ago.
After reading the book, I have a urge to see dolphins and to do more Pranayama yoga :)
The book is pretty expensive, but it’s still a must read. Keep in mind that it really isn’t a manual for freediving, but more like an overview or a coffee table book.
