I was surprised at how much I learned, even though I’m a marine
scientist with a Ph.D. and a freediver. I enjoyed the stories of freediving with amazing
people doing interesting things underwater, and it was fun to go through Nestor’s
personal challenges as he tried to learn to freedive. Throughout, Nestor manages to convey what it
feels like to do ocean research (lots of waiting and lost gear), and his
stories took me out to sea.
The stories of renegade science were new to me, and I
enjoyed reading about research outside the strictures of academia. There is much to learn in the ocean, and
Nestor found some unique people that are worth reading about.
This is easily one of the top ocean books I’ve ever read,
and I’ll be keeping it on my shelf to read again sometime.

I'll have to check this book out for myself. I love reading ocean stories.
Hi,
I am an avid fisherman and have been since childhood. I have recently become a fan of your blog I have developed a line of polarized sunglasses that is affordable to everyone. I believe in the thrill and sport of fishing, more so than making any type of profit. I would be more than happy to send you a pair at no charge. Thank you for your dedicated contributions to the fishing world.
