Description: |
dust jacket shows some wear and chipping along the edges and corners, owner's rubber stamp on frontispiece; includes 58 photos; this book tells the exciting accounts of Hass’s numerous exciting dives from a near fatal meeting with a giant octopus to a scary night diving experience. This book offers interesting scientific study of underwater harpoon hunting, a colorful and factual commentary on that part of the marine world accessible to goggle-fishermen, and a highly humorous and entertaining account of a group of daring young men in what at that time was a new and hazardous sport. |
