Product Description: This full-color, extensively illustrated, and highly respected dive manual includes the information necessary to learn open water diving. Timely discussions include ecology and scuba techniques, equipment and safety materials, women's diving issues and concerns, expanded CPR information, air sharing, and hand signals.
great open water text book; facts, not hype this book saves the student from the hype and promo that the PADI books now have, and is actually a very good basic text for open water. Jeppesen, the original publisher, publishes all the texts that airplane pilots use and carry in those black bags, called 'jep kits'.
Not a bad book. Lots of good general information but I found it required more depth in many areas.
