2.0 out of 5 stars Good title no substance, 17 Nov 1998
By A Customer
The title Diving On The Edge implies that you'll receive new cutting edge dive information. That's not the case here, the book contains nothing really new regarding dive equipment and care, dive technique, dive locations or dive experiences. It's basiclly a truncated rehash of very elementary information, ready available from other sources. (see section on equipment especially snorkel selection)

The book did contain some good safety advice and is written in a style that most divers will probably relate to. Better research and more detail is badly needed. Definately not "cutting edge" material

By A Customer
I was disappointed with this book, it didn't give anything away and the title is not a helpful guide to the contents of the book.
