Homo Delphinus is a term coined by Jacques Mayol, a world-famous diver who was the first man to dive to 330 feet (100 meters) on a single breath. He was also the inspiration for Luc Besson's film "The Big Blue", which depicts his rivalry and friendship with another legendary diver, Enzo Maiorca.
Mayol was fascinated by dolphins since he was a child, and he believed that humans have a natural affinity with these marine mammals. He developed his physical and mental abilities through yoga, meditation, and oriental philosophies, and he claimed that he could communicate with dolphins telepathically. He also studied the physiology of diving mammals, such as seals and whales, and applied their techniques to his own diving.
Mayol's book, Homo Delphinus, The Dolphin Within Man, is a memoir of his life and adventures, as well as a reflection on the relationship between man and dolphin. It is a richly illustrated book with more than 300 pictures of historical and geographical interest, many from Mayol's personal archives. It is also a book that appeals to divers, laymen, romantics, and dolphin lovers alike, regarding man's spiritual connection to the sea.
If you want to learn more about Homo Delphinus, you can find the book on Amazon, Google Books, or download a PDF version. You can also watch "The Big Blue" on Netflix or YouTube to see Mayol's story on the big screen. And if you are feeling adventurous, you can try to emulate Mayol's feats by practicing freediving, which is a form of diving that relies on breath-holding rather than scuba equipment. But be careful, as freediving can be very dangerous without proper training and supervision.
Whether you are a diver or not, Homo Delphinus invites you to explore the wonders of the ocean and the potential of the human spirit. As Mayol wrote in his book: "The sea is not only a vast reservoir where we can draw resources essential to our survival; it is also an infinite source of knowledge and wisdom."
