I really enjoyed this book: a memoir of a 'free diver' and the love story and tragic loss of his beautiful wife. I don't think I've ever heard of free diving before and it was really interesting to learn about it. A very honest and funny memoir, the author shares his flaws and story quite openly. There were many beautiful passages describing the author and his wife's love of the ocean

I really enjoyed this book. It combines two of my favorite themes-memoir and extreme human endeavors-to tell a story I wanted to know more about after reading about Pipin and Audrey online. I read this in one day after receiving a used copy from Amazon. Only 4 stars because I think Pipin is likely an unreliable narrator and I am glad I also ordered the book written by Pipin's former dive partner about the same fateful dive!!
