Product Description

Product Description
A guide to scuba diving. Topics covered include: guidance on choosing and using equipment; aqualung diving techniques; introduction to the underwater environment; dive planning and record keeping; safety precautions; and information on training organizations.

From the Author
I started diving with the British Sub aqua Club in 1985 and went on to become an open water instructor. My favourite pastime is exploring some of the many shipwrecks that litter our coastlines. When conditions allow I can be found off the North East Coast with my underwater video unit. As an instructor I have been lucky enough to witness the faces of trainees as they embark on their first open water dive.

From the Foreword: Diving is a specialist sport requiring specialist equipment and techniques. We dive in an environment that is essentially 'alien' and unfortunately accidents do occur. Divers owe it to their families to undertake proper training, obtain the correct equipment and to dive within their capabilities. It is only by undertaking a recognised certification course that we are made aware of the inherent risks of sub aqua diving. Armed with this knowledge we can visit the undersea world and experience the many wonders of the oceans. I decided to write this book in an effort to share some of my experience with you the reader. The book will guide you through sub aqua diver training and teach you a little of what learning to dive involves. It is not intended replace any of the manuals you receive when you embark on a recognised diver training course. When I started to write the book one of the most important features was that the book be totally neutral in a sense that it does not promote one training agency over another.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent. A "must have" for all budding scuba divers., 7 Jun 2001
By A Customer
As a fledgling scuba diver, I found this book backs up all of the diving tips and tricks (and dispells some myths) I have come across since becoming interested in the subject. It covers much more on scuba diving than I expected from what I though was just an introductory guide. With many beautifully clear colour and monochrome photographs, diagrams and tables, this book should be a more than ample back up to practical instruction as well as a pre-requisite to the British Sub-Aqua Club publication "Advanced Sport Diving"
