http://www.hans-hass.de/Englisch/index_english.htm Hans Hass was my favourite author when I was a child. He does not seem to be dead yet but one does not never know for sure. He has theories that can be somewhat different to those that we believe in, in our daily life. Read and judge for yourself.

Torsti: I was inspired by Hass' first book when I was a teenager and he and Cousteau were the primary stimulus that launched me into a career in diving. Three years after Hans' book appeared in our local library I was running a small diving salvage company, the first in New England. I didn't think he was still alive, I guess all that swimming and diving in early years helped both of us to become very old. Have you done any diving? Cj

Cj>>>< Not much diving, except for smoke diving in fire fighting classes, for me. I "drowned" when I was about 4 years old and my 8 years older brother rescued me and got me back into life with skills achieved in the scout movement. I did not persieve the experience as unpleasant but I guess it is the reason why I never have thrived under the surface, althought I like swimming. I am a "soft dog", so to say ) The Baltic sea is also cold and not very hospitable. Those who do sporting diving do it mostly for one single reason - the numerous wrecks that have been preserved by the brackish water and lack of the wood-eating worm that we call the "ship-worm", that rapidly eats wooden ships in more tropical and salt waters. In the Baltic sea you can still find very old wrecks in relatively good condition. I, for ex., have several small items that I have made from "black oak" rescued from old wrecks. I liked Hass better than Cousteau, partly because Hass was a true pioneer who lacked all technincal and economical aids and worked under the pressure from the WW2. He was also an "observer" who allowed the reader to form his own opinion from his observationes, while Cousteau made the public into a passive observer who was forced to swallow Cousteaus opinion. Well, thats my opinion, right or wrong. Torsti Borta Med Vindens Kennel www.rospigan.net "Merciful God the Almighty!
