Product Description
Book Description
Is the first comprehensive manual that teaches how to hold the breath, stay underwater longer, and descend deeper into the blue. This is the definitive guide, illustrated and up to date, for the aspiring apneist. From theory to practice this manual will accompany the reader in the discovery of a fascinating sport.
It is a manual that should not be missing from the itinerary of any diver (apneist or otherwise) who wishes to improve their techniques of respiration, swimming and diving whilst broadening knowledge and theory.
Dozens of underwater exercises, illustrated with helpful sequences of pictures allow both students and instructors of apnea to follow a simple and effective teaching path.
From the experience of two sportsmen, with years dedicated to competitive and instructive apnea, finally a manual that unites theory with practical experience.

This book is fantastic - has great information and gives a clear breakdown to all the aspects of free diving that help make your experiences in the water better and more successful.
I have been free diving for almost two years and by combining some of the things i learnt from reading this book my PBs have improved already. Pelizzari knows what he is talking about and for such a small investment a great deal can be learned.
Great as a personal resource or as a gift :)
