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. <br /> <br /> Rating: 5 / 5 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.

I didn't have a book to use and this book helped a lot. It goes into a lot of technical information and environmental factors which aresomething every diver needs to start learning. It is easy for beginners to understand. This book is something that has interested me in continuing with diving and has helped me on dives.

Moyer Sat, 02 Jan 2010 14:27:02 +0000 http://tapasfera.com/2010/01/scuba-diving-4th-edition/#comment-31 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. Rating: 5 / 5 This book was extremely helpful when I started to learn scuba diving.

Not heavy on technical details. I should have read some reviews before buying. Rating: 3 / 5 This is the YMCA open water 1 book. It was very similar to my NAUI manual. Not heavy on technical details.
