 Wonderfull!! October 4, 2008
Congrats to the author for he is a deep knower of diving.
Really helpfull book to the novice and expert diver as well.
An excellent checklist for all beginning scuba divers May 25, 2007
As a scuba instructor, I recommend this book to my students for their beginning library of diving books. It contains tips, techniques and reminders that are useful in the beginning of their scuba diving education and some helpful reminders for all scuba divers. Excellent for beginners and not bad for some more advanced divers to look over too...

Good information but save yourself the money and re-read your diving manual. Virtualy all the same information is in there. The book also suffers from poor editing. It's not a bad book just redundant if you have a PADI, NAUI, SSI, or other openwater divers manual.
 Too vague December 11, 2006

This book is more like a pamplet then an in-depth book; I read through it in about two hours. Most topics are covered in just a few paragraphs and offer no detailed examples/photos or graphics. I few good tips, but most are very general and based on common sense. One gem was on how you should avoid getting drunk before diving (da..). You will not feel like a pro after reading this. There are probably better and more in-depth books on diving technique.
 Good for beginners November 8, 2006

Good book for beginners. Not much depth to the topics covered that would be of much use to experienced divers. In fact, I don't think there was much in the book that is not covered in most basic dive course manuals.
