Greg Louganis, arguably the greatest diver the sport has ever known, has finally written his story. It is a story of courage and inspiration.

No one who watched th 1988 Seoul Olympics on television will ever forget seeing Greg Louganis crack open his head on the spring board, yet go on to win two gold medals.

What no one knew, except Louganis, his doctor and his coach was that he had recently been tested HIV positive.

Now Louganis tells, with unflinching honesty, of his battle against dyslexia, racism, depression, drug abuse and homophobia. And of his campaign to raise awareness about AIDS prevention and research and domestic violence.

Breaking the Surface is the moving story of a man who has had to struggle to break free of a lifetime of silence and isolation to become one of the most accomplished divers of all time.
