Book Reviews of Last of the Blue Water Hunters, Revised
Book Review: Even a greater appreciation for the book now.
Summary: 5 Stars
I read the book about 7 years ago when I had been spearfishing and lobster diving periodically. In the last few years I have gained close to an obsession for freediving/spearfishing/lobster diving (part of it grown out of frustration of small, over-crowded surf). I recently re-read the book and had a greater appreciation for it and even though familiar with it, still could not put it down. Mr. Eyles writing style gives more of a spiritual, soul-fulfilling description of the sport and the ocean in general. I am not some new-age hippie tree-hugger, but in reading the book, you do gain a greater appreciation, as well as sadness, for the ocean. The history he covers of the sport and his vivid descriptions of what the "fathers" first saw "under the waves" left detailed pictures in my mind. The historical photos in the book would be mind-boggling for those with experience in spearfishing. I dive most of the areas in the book and can only imagine what it must have been like a few decades ago, hence the sadness I referred to earlier in my review.
Anyone into fishing, spearfishing or any ocean sport should probably own this book. This book could even be appreciated by the non-participant of these interests, it is that well written.
