“Fascinating, informative, exhilarating.” —Wall Street Journal

Deep is a voyage from the ocean’s surface to its darkest trenches, the most mysterious places on Earth. Fascinated by the sport of freediving—in which competitors descend great depths on a single breath—James Nestor embeds with a gang of oceangoing extreme athletes and renegade researchers. He finds whales that communicate with other whales hundreds of miles away, sharks that swim in unerringly straight lines through pitch-black waters, and other strange phenomena. Most illuminating of all, he learns that these abilities are reflected in our own remarkable, and often hidden, potential—including echolocation, directional sense, and the profound bodily changes humans undergo when underwater. Along the way, Nestor unlocks his own freediving skills as he communes with the pioneers who are expanding our definition of what is possible in the natural world, and in ourselves.

“A journey well worth taking.” —David Epstein, New York Times Book Review

“Nestor pulls us below the surface into a world far beyond imagining and opens our eyes to these unseen places.” —Dallas Morning News

 “This is popular science writing at its best.” —Christian Science Monitor

Engrossing Read

I worked for many years on a rehab unit with high-level spinal patients who no longer had the ability to maintain oxygen levels without a ventilator. I worked with respiratory therapists and others to teach them to use a technique called Glosso-Pharyngeal Breathing, or GPB. This was invented by a polio patient in the 1950’s and allows patients to use the intact muscles of the tongue, face and throat to push and stack more and more air into the lungs. One patient with a lung capacity of about 300cc (about 4,000cc prior to injury), was able to inflate his lungs to about 1,000cc every 10-15 seconds. This technique saved his life the night he went home. The ventilator tubing slipped off and his wife was so soundly asleep that she didn’t wake up enough to hear the alarm for over 30 minutes! This book talks about similar techniques used by freedivers and is very well written. Ross

This was one of the best and most addictive books I’ve read in years! Highly recommend if you have a love or just an interest in the ocean.

Every single page is mind blowing.

This isn't a page turner, it's not "unputdownable," it's so very much more than that. At every turn you will discover things about humans and our fine flippered friends in the sea that will blow your mind. Amazing just doesn't do it justice. Read this, you'll be so much better for it.

Fascinating & Engrossing

Such a fascinating book. I could not put it down. I have a whole new level of respect for whales, dolphins, and other sea creatures. Dolphins holding complete conversations with each other, whale's 3D echolocation, whale clicks traveling thousands of miles even across the entire planet, brainless & boneless creatures surviving the deepest ocean depths in total darkness and freezing temperatures, etc. I'm in amazement of the human body's capacity to adapt to the ocean - the Master Switch. I never knew the breath hold record is 22 minutes! Or that people are diving over 400 feet with just weights and fins. Of course there are constant injuries, blackouts, & deaths, but freedivers continue to push the limits of the body. The author presents scientific evidence that life began at the bottom of the ocean, not on land. I'm convinced after reading this book that we need to stop exploring space and invest in deep sea exploration. There is a tremendous amount we could learn about our own planet.

Many books claim to be life changing but this one was for me, I will not look at the ocean the same ever again. Thank you Nestor for sparking interest and inspiration.
