Hi Carlos,

Today I talked to Marian Kubalica - a President of Wielki Blekit (Wielki Blekit - Podreczniki i wydawnictwo nurkowe, encyklopedia nurkowania, fotografia podwodna) - Polish publishing company, who is going to publish very interesting books on diving. What is unique, he will publish also books on freediving - among others Polish translation of “Homo Delphinus” by Jacques Mayol and “Manual of Freediving” by Umberto Pelizzari and Stefano Tovaglieri.
I am a fan of your “The Last Attempt”, so I suggested him to translate it into Polish and publish also. It turned out that he had the some idea already, but could’t contact you (your web page is not working, and Xlibris - the American publisher of “The Last Attempt”, who he managed to contact, was not able to help) to talk to you about that.

If you are interested in this idea please reply, and give me your email address or telephone number. I will give it to the publisher, and he will contact you.

Best Regards

Hi Carlos:

As you may have heard, I am conducting some research in breath-hold diving physiology using a computer model to look at gas exchange on deep dives. One of my interests is in using the model to analyze gas levels of Audrey Mestre on her dive to 170 m based on the dive profile obtained from Kim McCoy. I need information on her lung volumes, and I am wondering if you might know if she had any laboratory studies done by any physicians that I might be able to contact to get data on her RV and TLC. Many thanks and best regards.
