Included in the book are many facts and tips from the author’s 25 years of diving around the world, giving this book a feel of real knowledge and experience. It is well laid out with many color photos to illustrate the points being made.

There is something of everything in this book, which should inform divers and non-divers alike. And even for those who would like to become professional divers, there is much that is useful.

So if you have been diving, are thinking of going diving or simply wish to have an informative look at how diving has progressed from the early days – with the helmet that we all know from TV through to today’s modern and exciting scuba techniques – this is the book for you.
