Mafatu's Hawaii Dive Log (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Mafatu’s Hawaii Dive Log is the life story of a waterman’s love for the sea. From a timid youngster canoeing on the river, to snorkeling the inner reefs and later drift diving and spearfishing in deep blue water, it’s a life path filled with essential challenges and high spirited adventures.More than a dive log or diary, it’s the story of how one soul found significance with the ocean. With a generous measure of humor, life’s threats are survivable... shark attacks, reef paranoia, divers lost at sea, dangerous mistaken signals, a boat sinking, medical emergencies, an ocean romance, a violation of cultural taboos and a life threatening interisland channel crossing.With travelogue backdrops of the beauty of Hawaii, the wonders of the Pacific Ocean, its enchanting underwater reefs, daring submerged lava cliffs, trophy predator fish, swirling currentsand a cast of remarkable characters, this is a story of fear, failure, success and triumph. Mafatu’s Hawaii Dive Log is immensely entertaining and will make you laugh, and on occasion cry, when you tag along with the divers and experience a journey of a lifetime.
