 An absolute must read for divers of any skill level August 23, 2007
If you have logged only a handful of dives or enough to fill a log book, this book is a must read. Learning from other peoples' mistakes could quite possibly save your life, and this book is full of practical, experiential knowledge that will most certainly help you to become a better diver; more aware of the risks involved and how to avoid them. It's also a good intro for those who might be interested in learning to dive, although it quite possibly might scare folks away from the sport. Probably won't be letting my wife read it either.
Jaws ain't got nothin' on this book July 21, 2007
If you are a diver, or are planning to be a diver, this is a great book and a quick read. Just don't expect "Gone With The Wind."
It's basically a collection of true stories of problems encountered, why they became problems and how they could have been prevented. And, many of these problems were due to pure stupidity.
 Learn from accidents and learn about diving techniques June 27, 2007
Includes phisical and psicological aspects that lead to accidents in diving activities. While explaining real cases, the author also provides additional information about general diving topics. Very interesting to read. You find that you have had similar situations that have not lead to accidents but they could so.
Great Informative Diving Book - A must have! May 14, 2007
Michael Ange writes a column in the Scuba Diving magazine called Life Lessons. For any level scuba diver, this column describes various levels of scuba diving accidents. Many of which can be avoided, but also some that cannot. The analysis of each unique situation gives us information on how not to become complacent about scuba diving.
This book has several case reports of diving accidents. Many of them result in hospitalizations or even death. This book truly will open your eyes upon scuba diving. It is a great sport and very safe, but only as safe as you prepare.
I would recommend this book to any level scuba diver so that we can all be better prepared divers.

All divers should read this collection of stories and learn from mistakes made by others. You'll have a new respect for diving.
