There is nothing so pure as donning a simple pair of fins, snapping on a mask, and chomping down on a snorkel bit before a beach entry into a silvery turquoise lagoon. Freediving is like a first love, the one that taught us how to move through this three-dimensional world. Together we felt the wonder at the profound beauty of life but also learned that without respect, all is lost. In this issue, Asian Diver looks at the evolution of freediving through the centuries, from its beginnings more than 7, 000 years ago in ancient cultures such as the Chinchorro to its current status as one of the most popular underwater sports in the world.

In this issue, we examine the origins of everything in the way of the human condition - from evolution, to artistic expression, to the birth of monotheistic faith, and the violent beginnings of modern warfare.

We place current debates within historical context, such as the development of the war of drugs, and the mythical roots of Pokemon and popular gaming culture.

This year, the quadrennial Asian Games â a massive sports event that often gets mixed up with some of its regional variants â will be hosted here in Southeast Asia. We appraise several local sports that set the Asiadâs lineup apart from its Olympic counterpart, and drop in on three unique sportspeople gearing up for August. But the 18th Gamesâ most interesting aspect could just be its return to Indonesia, a place where, over a half-century ago, Jakartaâs controversial hosting decisions shocked the 1960sâ worlds of sports and politics. Indonesian politics also kicks off another fascinating tale: how five Southeast Asian men managed to create the first Asian miracle of the 20th century: the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. Helped by a few rounds of golf and drinks, these powerful diplomats succeeded in getting their respective countries â many with histories of bitter grudges and border invasions â to team up into a bloc that today still merits international admiration. Their surviving family and friends share memories of these master negotiators.
