I was trapped underwater holding my breath. I felt no pain and did not panic. Many years of freediving, shark encounters, wild currents, and rough seas had most likely prepared me for this moment of calm contemplation while my life was hanging in the balance. Lying there helpless, I knew that the guys were doing everything they could to lift the boat and free me. The seething, foamy aftermath of the huge wave had settled into an eerie quietness. The water was a beautiful pale turquoise, and large light-filled bubbles floated up before my eyes. These airy orbs gleamed in the morning sun, expanding and changing shape slowly on their way to the surface.   A captivating narrative of an extraordinary life of travel and challenge fueled by Jean's passion for spearfishing.

I could scarcely put it down from start to finish and hope there are more to come. Tony Heugh @ Superfrog Australia
