Umberto Pelizzari Video And Book

June 22, 2009 in Books, Video by Jorg Jansen

More and more freedivers are using all the new internet possibilities. Umberto Pelizzari is also one of them. He put a great how-to video on his website and explains the basics about snorkeling/freediving. Italian spoken and English subtitles. The charismatic Italian for sure knows how to present his stuff. More official Umberto video’s can be found in his Vimeo Channel.

Carlos Serra Releases Book About Audrey Mestre's Death

January 9, 2007 in Books by Jorg Jansen

Author2.jpg.w300h300.jpgCarlos Serra, former right hand of Pipin Ferreras and former president of the IAFD, Pipin’s freediving organization, opens up all the info he has into a book he wrote about the whole story around Audrey’s death. I’m still doubting if I will buy the book, because it comes to me as a pretty commercial idea to publish this book and it will be probably be full with oooh’s and aaah’s to attract as big an audience as possible. You can order and find more info on the book on Carlos his website.

If I read it, you can expect a full review. If someone has read it and want to get rid of the book, then contact me… ;-)
