”“For most of history, man has had to fight nature to survive; in this century he is beginning to realize that, in order to survive, he must protect it.”
“The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.”
“Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much… the wheel, New York, wars, and so on, whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely the dolphins believed themselves to be more intelligent than man for precisely the same reasons.”
“Diving is like sex; when its good, its REALLY good, when its bad, its still ALRIGHT!”
