Το 1913 στο επίσημο ημερολόγιο του ιταλικού Θωρηκτού "Ρεγγίνα Μαργκερίτα", ο επικεφαλής γιατρός του πληρώματος κατέγραψε μία απίθανη ιστορία σχετικά με την πρόσληψη ενός Έλληνα δύτη - σπογγαλιέα, έναν λεγόμενο "γυμνό δύτη", κορυφαίο βαθίτη σπογγαλιευτή του ελληνικού σφουγγαράδικου στόλου, για τον εντοπισμό και την ανέλκυση της άγκυρας του θωρηκτού, η οποία είχε χαθεί στα νερά του νησιού της Καρπάθου, στα Δωδεκάνησα, σ΄ένα βάθος 70 με 80 μέτρα.Ο Δόκτωρ Τζουζέπε Μουσένκο περιέγραψε στο ημερολόγιο του πλοίου τα γεγονότα των τριών ημερών ελεύθερων καταδύσεων του Στάθη Χατζή, του κορυφαίου Έλληνα δύτη που είχαν προσλάβει, σε βάθη μέχρι τα 88 μέτρα και με απίστευτους χρόνους παραμονής στο βυθό των τεσσάρων λεπτών σε κάθε του κατάδυση. Μετά από περισσότερες από δεκαέξη τέτοιες καταδύσεις - ρεκόρ, ο Στάθης Χατζής είχε κατορθώσει να εντοπίσει την χαμένη άγκυρα στο βυθό των Πηγαδιών της Καρπάθου, την είχε δέσει και τελικά είχε βοηθήσει να την σηκώσουν ξανά, πάνω στο πολεμικό πλοίο.Ο συγγραφέας και βιογράφος του Στάθη Χατζή συγκέντρωσε γεγονότα και ιστορικές καταγραφές, αφηγήσεις και μαρτυρίες, συμπληρώνοντάς τα σε αυτό το βιβλίο μόνο, όπου χρειάστηκε, από την φαντασία του γράφοντα, για να γραφτεί η περιπέτεια μιας ολόκληρης ζωής, με άφθονα επεισόδια, όπως υπήρξε η ζωή του κορυφαίου ελεύθερου δύτη...Το βιβλίο αποτελεί το σενάριο του συγγραφέα, για μία ταινία, με θέμα τον Στάθη Χατζή και τις θρυλικές περιπέτειες και καταδύσεις του και την απόδειξη ότι αξίζει η ιδέα του, να το δούμε μία μέρα, σαν ταινία, στον κινηματογράφο!

Ligesom den berusede kan opleve momenter af klarsyn, fik noget mig til i et glimt at se klart. Billeder af min kone og to sønner tonede frem. De kaldte på mig. Det lyder helt vildt og var da også vildt heldigt, for netop de billeder reddede mig. Da jeg forstod, at jeg var på vippen til at slå mig selv ihjel, ville jeg op. Nu! Jeg ruskede i makkerlinen, men så var det, som om glimtet af klarsyn forduftede, og jeg igen forsvandt helt væk i min egen ubåds-verden af indre dæmoner, messende undervandslyde og drømmesyn. Frank Lindbo har med mere end 700 dyk i log-bogen prøvet det meste, man kan opleve som dykker. Fra hyggelige stranddyk til krævende vragdyk på dybt vand, dykkerferier i troperne og dyk under is. Masser af gode oplevelser. Men også enkelte smertelige erfaringer med dyk, der gik galt. Her oplevede han, at det var lidt et tabu også blandt dykkere at tale om dykkerrus og dykkersyge. Det tabu vil forfatteren gerne gøre op med.I dag er Frank Lindbo ikke i tvivl om, at de mange krævende øvelser i løbet af uddannelsen til CMAS-dykker mere end én gang har reddet hans liv og førlighed.Den gamle leveregel om, at kun en tåbe ikke respekterer havet – og dyk­ker­reglerne! Det kan bogens forfatter i den grad skrive under på. For sløser man med de almene dykkerråd, kan konsekvenserne være alvorlige.

The very first guidebook written just for snorkelers exploring these unique ecosystems.The chilly waters surrounding Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands are rich in colorful and diverse marine life. Scuba divers have long been aware of this submarine cornucopia, and Jacques Cousteau himself recognized the Pacific Northwest as one of the world¿s premier temperate diving destinations. But scuba diving is an elite hobby, requiring training and costly equipment, and consequently is accessible only to a relatively small number of people.Snorkeling is an affordable alternative to scuba diving, and you don¿t have to go deep to see the wonders of the Pacific. Within the top few meters of our local waters you can find spectacular nudibranchs, rainbow-hued anemones, dozens of sea star species and myriad nautical wonders.

How to stay warm in the frigid North Pacific? When to snorkel, given the tides, currents and weather patterns of our island habitat? And just what exactly is that strange-looking critter?Whether for a family outing, a beginner¿s trip or an expedition for the seasoned marine adventurer, this innovative guidebook has detailed descriptions of more than fifty destinations, including how to get there, which species one is likely to encounter, and how to stay warm and safe while making the most of every experience.
