Last of the Blue Water Hunters, Revised

Carlos Eyles became deeply connected to the ocean world as a child growing up in Hawaii. His life, first as a free diving big game spear fisherman and now as an underwater photographer, has covered much of the planet's oceans and seas - a lifetime journey, which has paralleled the decline of the ocean's great wealth.

Carlos has written eight books and countless articles about his experiences. He recently returned to Hawaii to live and teach free diving.

This is not technical "how to" spearfishing book. It has many interesting stories and reinforces the sustainable ethos that hopefully is becoming more accepted by users of the ocean.
