Children of a… Shamandura

Maybe affected by the Peter Pan syndrome, with the excuse of an unconditional love for the sea and its creatures, the characters of Children of a Shamandura live and work forgetting about their chronological age. The background is a surreal and unique Egypt, as well as the breathtaking beauty of the Red Sea. This book is dedicated to those who left with a sub bag on their backs, looking for their path in places where the sun is always shining. They live through blunders and absurd situations, but with the innocence of those who look at the world with eyes that have already dismissed the well-known, the certainty and the ordinary. It is about the sea and the untamed life lived as the only choice possible for underwater instructors and guides, along dangerous and poignant itineraries, usually paradoxical. It is also about human paths, cleverly described on pages you are inevitably forced to read in one breath. This is a dangerous book. It became a true cult amongst scuba divers and lover of the Red Sea. Children of a… Shamandura reach its fourth edition, one that is completely edited by the author.

The moment you finish this book you want to gift it to your best friend! Could be the nitrogen? Could be the beer? Maybe both? Still, this reading goes on light and fun. Every page leads to the another while you find yourself in stiches with laughter. I. Maria, La Libreria Universitaria

Between boats, corals and bars, the characters of Children of a… Shamandura live and work not caring about their chronological age… it is a Woodstock at sea. Fabio Pozzo, La Stampa
