J. Hayward Said: Great Scuba Book !!!! ( Jun. 14th 2010 )
Informative, an easy read and graphics nicely done to drive home the point. Beyond that; it's very interesting.
Judith T. Leclere Said: Scuba Diving ( Jun. 1st 2009 )
This book is a classic training manual for new scuba divers, it is complete and easy to understand. I recommend it for anyone interested in learning to enjoy scuba diving.
J. Little Said: Basic manual ( Nov. 23rd 2008 )
This is the YMCA open water 1 book. It was very similar to my NAUI manual. Not heavy on technical details. I should have read some reviews before buying.
M. Coppedge Said: Excellent preparation for scuba diving ( Sep. 2nd 2004 )
A very comprehensive theoretical manual that discusses the ocean environment, how the human body reacts and adapts to that environment, and everything a diver needs for a successful diving experience. The author spends a lot of time on equipment and discusses every part in detail: what it is, how it is used, how it is maintained and cared for, what to consider when buying it, how different products compare, etc. He also explains different diving techniques, pressure problems and solutions, entering and exiting water with full diving gear, hand signals, and emergency skills. It is the perfect companion to a scuba diving class.
Erin E. Moyer Said: For Scuba Divers of All Levels ( Jan. 27th 2004 )
This book was extremely helpful when I started to learn scuba diving. I was not required to have a text for my basic scuba diving course and this is a book I purchased to give myself more information. Now that I'm working on getting certified to be a teaching assistant (NAUI) for basic scuba diving, this book helps me maintain the knowledge that I learned in the basic course. I do recommend this book for any one and everyone interested in diving as a career, sport, or hobby.
