One Breath is a gripping and powerful exploration of the strange
and fascinating sport of freediving, and of the tragic, untimely
death of America's greatest freediver Competitive freediving-a
sport built on diving as deep as possible on a single breath-tests
the limits of human ability in the most hostile environment on
earth. The unique and eclectic breed of individuals who freedive at
the highest level regularly dive hundreds of feet below the ocean's
surface, reaching such depths that their organs compress, light
disappears, and one mistake could kill them. Even among freedivers,
few have ever gone as deep as Nicholas Mevoli. A handsome young
American with an unmatched talent for the sport, Nick was among
freediving's brightest stars. He was also an extraordinary
individual, one who rebelled against the vapid and commoditized
society around him by relentlessly questing for something more
meaningful and authentic, whatever the risks. So when Nick Mevoli
arrived at Vertical Blue in 2013, the world's premier freediving
competition, he was widely expected to challenge records and
continue his meteoric rise to stardom. Instead, before the end of
that fateful competition Nick Mevoli had died, a victim of the
sport that had made him a star, and the very future of free diving
was called into question. With unparalleled access and masterfully
crafted prose, One Breath tells his unforgettable story, and of the
sport which shaped and ultimately destroyed him.
