Scuba Diving

Got for present, looks like a great read

Got this book as a refresher for a scuba holiday after not having been underwater for a while. Comprehensive and interesting refresher that encompasses all of PADI Open Water and Advanced Open Water, and more. Also a great tool to teach novice divers!

O livro é um manual completo do mergulho, tudo o que você imaginar está ali. Quero tirar o PADI, vai me ajudar muito.

I've done a couple "intro to scube" and one "discover scuba" courses. I'm planning to certify this summer. This book has been great in teaching the core content for safe diving and I pick it up to read often. The illustrations are high quality and the layout is great, too.

I had about 30 dives under my belt, but none in the last 8 years. This book had the information I needed to become comfortable with safety issues that was my concern.

I have bee using this book since the 3rd edition and it is still the best text for open water through advanced training courses available in the US. I hope that Dennis Graver passes his legacy on to another person when he decides to hang it up. The book is technically accurate, easy to read and has fantastic pictures and graphics. My only complaint for the 5th edition is that Human Kinetics has put a much lighter weight cover on the book that almost immediately curls up. How much could it cost to use a slightly heavier weight cover material? Then again HK is always about the money.
