"Hass describes in this book how he travelled around the world in the beginning of the 1950's.
Being one of the first divers to visit great places like Cocos Island, the Galapagos islands, the Azores, netherlands antilles, red sea and great barrier reef.
Obsessed with getting decent footage, he doesn't hesitate to jump into waters filled with hammerhead and tiger sharks, or swim along a harpooned sperm whale that is fighting for its life.
Divers nowadays learn a "look-but-don't-touch" mentality. In Hass' time, people on the azores were still hunting whales, and divers were proud of spearing the biggest fish or catching bags full of lobster.
This book is nice reading material for anyone interested in the early days of scuba diving."
