 great, informative, enjoyable and easy to read March 16, 2000
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
We bought this for general information, expecting a simplified guide but found it to be very informative and interesting. Great pictures and notes, very easy to read, even for my 11 year old who can't wait to get certified. The cd-rom that comes with it is full of information, a quick PADI course, video clips, and it is worth the price of the book alone! a great buy!
 EXCELLENT RESOURCE FOR THE BEGINNING DIVER September 23, 1999
25 out of 27 found this review helpful
This book is put together and presented in such a way as not to discourage anybody who has thought about learning to dive from doing so. There are a lot of books out there that are still influnced by training agencies that still think all divers should be taught like they are Navy Seals. It was refreshing to find a book that is accuarte and promotes diving for what it really is a fun, non-competitive, family sport. I have been involved in the dive industruy for over 20 years and diving for over 30 years and I highly recommend this book for anybody that has thought of giving Scuba diving a try.
 limited knowledge and over simplification of scuba diving August 19, 1999
20 out of 33 found this review helpful
This book is oversimplified and leaves out important details dive students need to know in order to fully enjoy scuba diving while maximizing safety. This is just a hype book to sell the training agency who sponsored it and their poorly structured courses. Many superior books on this site. Save your money on this one.
