“One Breath” opens with a quotation by Bob Talbot, “Freediving is not about depth, (it) is about experiencing the sea” This sums up the body of this book, it is indeed a reflection of a world that few people can experience. Emma Farrell has skillfully captured the essence of free diving by demonstrating the loneliness and the joy that can be found through this little known and often misunderstood sport. As a novice free diver this book through both its words and pictures has instilled in me a desire to explore not only the depths of the oceans but to explore the journey that is oneself.
Frederic Buyle is a highly talented photographer and has managed to frame Emma’s text with beautiful images, all shot in natural light, providing a fitting addition to what can truly be describes as, a reflection on freediving. This book will encourage new divers to go further and remind the more experienced divers to look back and enjoy from where they have come. This is an armchair book that has the ability to instantly transport the reader into another world.
