1. Snygg, intressant och smart - Klockren bok för mig som relativt nybakad seglare. Det pedagogiska upplägget med enkla och tydliga förklaringar, kombinerat med snygga illustrationer, gjorde att jag faktiskt började förstå sådant som tidigare gjort mig förvirrad. Jag är medveten om att segling snabbt kan bli mycket komplicerat, och trimkapitlet hanterade detta på ett suveränt sätt. Boken lämnar en mycket positiv mersmak!!

Protected beaches, long pointbreaks or heavy slabs of volcanic reef are all on offer and twisting coastlines provide shelter from the malevolent arctic winds and swells....

1. Well written and exciting! - A fascinating and instructive story of Andrea Doria's fate and the diving done on her since the accident and until the book's publication date. The reader gets an insight into the development of technical diving from the time of the accident that sunk the Andrea Doria until the book's release, as well as prominent individuals in the deep sea wreck diving. The language is usually easy to understand, and explains very well the aspects of scuba diving in general and technical diving in particular, so that even non divers can understand the content. Highly recommended!
