Summary: Last of the Blue Water Hunters
Comment: A factual account written in story form of the evolution of free diving/spearfishing and people and equipment involved through the eyes of one of the masters. An easy read, a real page turner that will put you in the depths with the writer anticipating the next move. Ordered this book for the heck of it while browsing breath hold texts and was glad to pass it on to a friend and highly recommend it for anyone who dips a toe in the ocean and appreciates the endangered environment that supports us.

Summary: One shot, one kill!
Comment: Great Book, did more for my spearfishing than any other book i've read, including some highly regarded 'manuals' on the subject. covers brief history, and lots of important bits of info woven into these tales. this is way more than just a story, it'll change your attitude, perception and comfort level in the water. i wish it were updated to current status of overfishing as well as recent bluewater techniques...

Summary: Last of the Blue Water Hunters
Comment: I really enjoyed this book. It is a fast easy read, however it didn't fail to stimulate my immagination throughout it. The author jumps around a bit to past stories of spearfishing elsewhere, but they are filled with some unbelievable events. I am a spearfisherman myself and this was my first Carlos Eyles book. I was hoping it would have some more technical information, but nonetheless I was very happy reading it. I am going to read more of his books in which I'm sure I will find more of this information along with more exciting stories. Spearfisherman or not, if you are in love with the sea like I am and appreciate all it has to offer the mind, body and soul, you will also appreciate this book. Carlos is a man of the sea and he will make you want to experience it for yourself.

Summary: Really wonderful book
Comment: I spent a summer as a kid freediving and spearfishing in La Jolla, Calif.. This book took me back to that time and documents a history of spearfishing that goes all the way back to its birth here in the US. A really great read. I was sad when it was over. Wonderful first hand accounts of the men who went deep and who are still discovering the biggest and last frontier on our planet.
