Book Recommendation: Close Calls

Arguably one of the most anticipated dive books of 2021, Close Calls by Stratis Kas is a collection of near fatal accidents from some of the world’s most legendary divers including Edd Sorenson, Jill Heinerth, Becky Kagan-Schott, and many others. It’s a testament to importance of dive safety and never diving beyond your comfortability and trained limits. After all, if it happened to some of the best, it can happen to you…

““My intent was simple,” Kas Explained. “If high profile divers and dive industry leaders were willing to share their own mistakes and lapses of judgement, many of which nearly cost them everything, it would help rank-and-file divers realize that they are fallible and subject to similar errors, and hopefully make them safer divers.” Italian explorer Edoardo Pavia, and journalist and editor Michael Menduno, who both contributed stories, assisted Kas with the project.” - Divenewswire.com
