Overview

An 86 year old man looks back at 60 years of spearfishing. 20 years of scuba including some salvage decompression diving and 40 years of freediving, which became an obsession.

Description

These short stories, (about 74) are as much about the characters as well as the many fish speared along the way, from the early 60's up to 2018. Since I became addicted to spearfishing, it has controlled my life. It is also a partial and brief autobiography.

About the author

An 86 year old retired electrical engineer developed a love for spearfishing in his 20's and it changed his entire life as he leaves a secure position and heads for St Croix and an unknown future.

The Man who loved to Spearfish I used to spearfish some with Stan when we were both living in the U.S. Virgin islands . I experienced some of awesome stories that are included in his memoirs and heard first hand of others. Stan was the real deal, his book is the real deal and I am just happy he got these stories in print! I recommend to all, especially if you have an interest in spear fishing. Read more
