I just finished reading the book. I couldn't put it down. In the beginning you try to keep an open mind, especiaclly after learning about his childhood and struggle to make it, however, once he's in Miami, and has a few records under his belt, you can see the arrogance start to show. It then starts to seep into safety, and his blatant disreagaurd for it. Not only does he put himself at tremendous risk, but he also starts to risk his crew. I was on his crew when he was in Cayman. The Cayman Challenge was a week long event of freediving, that was high-lighted by Audrey's first No-Limits record and his 2-breath stunt that was suppost to be to 600ft( he only did 515ft, due to a major accident that had happend earlier in his traning dives, its in the book). Dive Tech supplied his dive crew and boats. For a week or so we provided saftey divers, personnel and equipment for both his and Audrey's practices. He was constantly trying to cut corners and/or bully the crew to do things his way. One practice day, as he was into his breath up, the wind picked up, swinging the boats parallel to shore. This caused the block on the end of the rope to get tangled on the wall. The bottom divers signalled to abort the dive. When the signal reached the surface, he actually tried to ignore it. But Audrey and Nancy reasoned with him, but not enough that he didn't throw a major hissy-fit, yelling and cursing. I was also a safety diver for Mandy-Rae's No - Limits record in Cayman. We stricktly followed AIDA Safety standards, and actually had to postpone the attempt to find a defibulator. As I continued in the book, I actually forund myself getting angry. Not only by his disregaurd for his own safety, (major bounce dives, trying to ignore his limitations, his boughts of decompression illness), but for the direction you see the book going in. I'm not going to go into the details of the book, read it yourself and draw your own conclusions, however, his lack of concern for safey, does leave you questioning. If he had followed safety guidlines, such as the ones AIDA requires, safety divers ever 20 - 30 M, on board doctor and 1st aid treatment, O2 kits and Difibrulators, could this accident been avoided?
