Here's a review I found for this title: I took a 7 week open water certification class, and this was the required text. I read the entire book front to back in one sitting because it was very interesting and contained all of the information needed to pass the written examination. Graver especially makes a great effort at explaining difficult information so that anyone can understand. Learning dive tables, how to plan dives, gas laws, physiology, physics, rescue techniques, and how to treat injuries was painless using this book. The text is also loaded with clear, colorful pictures to help explain some of the things he talks about such as how to don equipment, how the moon and sun effect tide, swimming techniques, what equipment looks like, and how waves and other concepts such as thermocline affect your dive. This is a wonderful book for anyone beginning to dive, and it's a great resource for anyone who is ready to refresh after a long absence from diving. You can be sure your getting a reliable source of information with this book, the book is in great condition with no spots, no bending, very clean. Place a Bid!
