Review of 'Deep: Freediving, Renegade Science, and What the Ocean Tells Us about Ourselves' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Fairly engaging, but sided a bit too much with borderline pseudo-science for my liking. It would have been nice to get more of a view of any rigorous science behind the ‘master switch’ and the physiology of freediving, rather than various bits of hearsay. The sections on deep water research were better in this respect.
