I bought it a week ago in Paris in french language. The price was 19 Euro. I' ll start reading in a few days and then I' ll tell you how it is. I also bought Umberto Pelizzari's "L' Homme et la Mer" and Loic Leferme's "L'Homme Poisson".

Hey there Seal + Alastair

Homo Delphinus was written by the late Mayol.
"Jacques Mayol L'Homme Dauphin" was written by his brother Pierre Mayol and Patrick Mouton.
I have heard it gives some insight into the character of Mayol and the emotional circumstances that lead to his suicide. I plan to read this book in outdoor camping by the sea this summer for maximum effect. The UK just is not the place.

I have the Homo Delphinus book...
Nice thick heavy book which cost 65€ but that doesnt matter as I got it as a present... starts of well but nearing the end of the book it starts to get a but sluggish and boring (only the last bit)
Overall I found this book quite interesting and a good read (except for the end)... maybe a bit too challenging and scientific (some bits) for a 16 year old?!?!

Oh yeah Just to add... some amazing photos... definalty worth the buy.
