About the book: 1987 / It has been several years since humanity discovered the existence of its cousin, the dolphin. Will he take the place in our lives that he deserves and that the ancient Greeks and Egyptians assigned to him? We must hope so. As well as the fact that over time we will be able to follow the magnificent example of wisdom, solidarity, love of life that he constantly presents to us, we will learn to cherish and respect the values ​​​​that he also values ​​​​most of all - peace and freedom. The legendary French diver was born in Shanghai in 1927 He was the first to break 100 m in a dive without scuba gear. His philosophical concept of living in harmony and unity with the ocean defined a new view of free diving as a style and way of life. A tireless explorer of the depths of the sea and the depths of consciousness, Jacques Mayol was the first to turn to yoga and Eastern philosophy in his training practice. His book “Homo Delphinus” or “Dolphin Man” became a kind of bible for free divers of different countries and religions. Jacques Maillol died on the island of Elba in December 2001.
