Summary

"While on assignment in Greece ... Nestor witnessed something that confounded him: a man diving 300 feet below the oceans surface on a single breath of air and returning four minutes later, unharmed and smiling. This man was a freediver, and his amphibious abilities inspired Nestor to seek out the secrets of this little-known discipline ... Nestor embeds with a gang of extreme athletes and renegade researchers who are transforming not only our knowledge of the planet and its creatures, but also our understanding of the human body and mind"--Dust jacket flap
